DESCRIPTION:California's Carbon Trading and other False Climate Solutions\n\nFalse 
 Climate Solutions is the topic of a talk and photo presentation by Jeff 
 Conant of the Global Justice Ecology Project. He will speak at the Redwoods 
 Presbyterian Church, 110 Magnolia Avenue, Larkspur on Thursday, June 9 at 
 7:30 PM.\n\nJeff will explain how California's recent carbon-trading deal 
 with Mexico is leading to displacement of the poor; how tiny chipboard 
 houses are being built on steep deforested hillsides and called 
 "sustainable" rural cities designed to "combat the dispersion and 
 marginalization of local peoples"; and how African palm plantations in 
 Honduras are fueling increased repression of peasant movements.\n\nJeff 
 Conant is a writer, educator, and social justice activist with a focus on 
 international development and ecology. He has published articles and 
 contributed to reports on water privatization, resource colonization, food 
 sovereignty, ecological sanitation, environmental injustice, and related 
 issues. He is a coordinating committee member of La Red VIDA (the 
 InterAmerican Network for the Defense of the Right to Water), a 
 permaculturalist, and sits on advisory boards of several non-profit 
 organizations.*\n\nThis presentation is sponsored by the Task Force on the 
 Americas. A $5-10 donation is suggested. No one will be turned away for 
 lack of funds. The venue is wheelchair accessible.\n\n* See also a written
