DESCRIPTION:DVC student leaders understand that it will be up to their generation to 
 provide the solutions to current and future environmental issues that 
 relate to the conservation of the nation and world. Therefore on February 
 25th, from 11am-5pm, DVC students, with the help of the non-profit 
 organization Focus the Nation, will hold a Green Energy Forum on campus in 
 the Performing Arts Center with an expected audience of over 350 attendees. 
 The forum is to focus on creating cleaner energy sources, localizing food 
 production, environmental sustainability and how a student’s future 
 career can contribute to a healthier planet. Participants will be able to 
 choose their roles either as technicians, storytellers, politicos, or 
 innovators during the event. The event will feature industry expert 
 speakers, festivities, performances, and entertainment. PG&E 
 representatives are also expected to be present to speak on how to conserve 
 energy. \n\nU.S. Senator Mark DeSaulnier, Mayor Gayle McLaughlin of 
 Richmond and a representative from U.S. Congressman John Garsmendi’s 
 office are expected to be present for the Panel Discussion. There are also 
 current discussions with U.S. Congressmen George Miller’s staff on his 
 potential attendance as well. \n\nThis event is sponsored by Clif Bar, 
 United States Green Building Council of Northern California, local 
 businesses: Los Rancheros Supermarket, Mi Oficina Café and DVC student 
 organizations: the Architecture Construction and Engineering Club (ACE) and 
 Iconic Design Club. \n\nAbout Focus the Nation\n\nFocus the Nation is a 
 small staff and board based in Portland, Oregon with an advisory board 
 network of thought leaders across the country. The heart of who we are 
 though is our ever-growing team of young volunteers in every 
 state—Millenials who fully understand the opportunities at stake in 
 building a clean energy world. Focus the Nation is a 501(c) 3 non-profit 
 founded in 1999.\n\nCall to Action\n\nThe corporations and politicians who 
 have mainly caused the problems are not solely going to provide sensible 
 solutions to our environmental and economic crisis. It is up to the 
 educated youth of this country to Focus the Nation to do so. The world is 
 running out of oil, consumerism is polluting our world with garbage, and 
 western lifestyle is unsustainable. What is your career going to do about 
 it?\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/02/23/18672860.php
