DESCRIPTION:David Brower used to say “have fun saving the world, or you are just 
 going to depress yourself.” Well, we’re taking him at his word, and 
 we’re planning our very first party! Come enjoy Dave’s favorite drink, 
 a martini, and dance with friends to the soulful grooves of Radio Devi. 
 \n\nTickets are $20 and all proceeds support the Center.\n\nWhat use is a 
 house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?\n—Henry David 
 Thoreau\n\nThe great environmentalist David Brower, whose lifework was the 
 quest for a tolerable planet, loved Thoreau's line and often quoted it to 
 his audiences. But the question can be turned around: How do you achieve a 
 tolerable planet without a house dedicated to that Herculean effort?\n\nThe 
 David Brower Center will be a home for the environmental movement of the 
 twenty-first century. The building will feature the greenest of green 
 architecture. Where Thoreau built his cabin at Walden for $28.12 worth of 
 salvaged materials—the Brower Center will improve on that start: 
 non-toxic materials; natural daylighting and ventilation; high-performance 
 building envelope; solar panels. The Center, in its four floors and over 
 50,000 square feet, will house the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Theater, the 
 Hazel Wolf Gallery, a restaurant, meeting rooms, collaborative common 
 space, and office space for nonprofits and progressive for-profits. Under 
 one photovoltaic roof in the heart of Berkeley, activists, business people, 
 students, and visitors from around the world will meet, eat, exchange 
 ideas, and work toward a just and ecologically sustainable society.\n\n\n
