The Georgia Conservancy Conference:
Georgia's Common Ground
Georgia's landscape has changed in response to rampant growth. Expansive land use practices have increased our encroachment upon the natural world and decreased our quality of life. There are, however, signs of hope. There are vast areas in Georgia still worth protecting, and areas that have shown innovative regenerative abilities with a little help from a few dedicated people.
Georgia's Common Ground will look at efforts to protect our natural world on the local level as well as highlight national, state, and local governments' efforts to work with leaders throughout Georgia in defining a vision and taking direct action.
Featured Speakers:
Paul Hawken (keynote)
Amory Lovins
over 50 panelists from around the nation
