DESCRIPTION:Peace Action of San Mateo County will present a talk by Dr. Kevin Danaher, 
 co-founder of Global Exchange, the celebrated San Francisco-based 
 environmental and human rights organization. Kevin will talk about "How the 
 Green Economy Can Save Humanity from Itself."\n\nDistinguished by his 
 analytical expertise, sense of humor and blunt eloquence, Kevin is hailed 
 in the activist community as an exceptional and dynamic speaker. The New 
 York Times described him as the "Paul Revere of globalization's woes." He 
 has been at the forefront of promoting what he calls "grassroots 
 globalization" to empower local economies to function in a sustainable 
 manner - and has also led opposition to governments' "free trade" 
 agenda.\n\nWhile no longer on the staff of Global Exchange (though still a 
 member of its Board), his new position with the San Francisco Department of 
 the Environment has already provided him with insights about green 
 technology as a basis for our economy and as a counterpoint to the 
 business-as-usual thinking of the corporate world and the military. On 
 January 12 he will share new thoughts about converting work by corporations 
 and the military to a greener process.\n\nRegarding the military and the 
 environment, Kevin cites "lots of connections: the biggest polluter in the 
 U.S. is the military, but the U.S. military has lots of green programs 
 happening - very contradictory. Imagine if we could convert the 865 U.S. 
 military bases abroad into eco-universities and eco-industrial parks! That 
 would do way more for our security than drones and bombs and missiles could 
 ever do."\n\nDr. Kevin Danaher has a PhD in Sociology from UC Santa Cruz. 
 He has authored 6 books, the two most recent of which are Building the 
 Green Economy: Success Stories from the Grassroots (with Shannon Biggs and 
 Jason Dove Mark), and Insurrection: The Citizen Challenge to Corporate 
 Power.\n\nThe Unitarian Universalists is wheelchair accessible; enter the 
 hall on the Ellsworth side.\n
