A HISTORIC ELECTION IS OVER

BUT WHAT COMES NEXT FOR AMERICA, OIL, AND GLOBAL WARMING?

COME AND MEET TERRY TAMMINEN, AUTHOR OF THE EXPLOSIVE NEW BOOK LIVES PER GALLON: The True Cost of our Oil Addiction.

WHO: Terry Tamminen is an architect of California’s climate change and energy initiatives, which are the most progressive energy independence plans in the country. A dedicated environmentalist, he served as Special Advisor to Governor Schwarzenegger, head of the California EPA, and now has written Lives Per Gallon (www.livespergallon.org).

WHAT: Terry is touring America talking about his book and the issues. He knows that America’s addiction to oil is taking a huge toll on our health, environment, and national security, and that oil and automobile companies have conspired for decades to hide the damage their products have done to America and the world. Lives Per Gallon is a diagnosis of our petroleum problem and a prescription for change. The choice is clear: continue paying with our health, or kick our addiction and evolve beyond an oil-dependent economy. By forcing corporate giants to pay the true cost of their business practices, the economics change in favor of more sustainable, healthier products. Terry shows how we can evolve beyond oil to products that are far cleaner and truly sustainable.

WHEN: Monday, November 20, 7:00pm

WHERE: Book Passage 51 Tamal Vista Blvd. Corte Madera, CA 94925 415-927-0960

WHY: Now is a window of opportunity for change on national policy as a result of the midterm elections. Be part of the debate and the drive for energy independence in America. The event is a perfect opportunity to ask questions about local issues, policies, or federal legislation. Learn what you and Washington can do to make a difference. Terry helped make change happen in California and is now calling for change all over America. What people are saying about Lives Per Gallon:

“Terry Tamminen has turned a spotlight of clarity on the defining issue of our age.”

~Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., President, Waterkeeper Alliance
