Another holiday season (in the United States at least) and another slow month for events. I’ve culled a handful of conferences, workshops, a speech by David Suzuki (check back later this month for a review of his book “The Legacy”) and even a few solar installation trainings for this month, but there are definitely fewer than normal. A couple are included below, but as always, we encourage additions from our audience.
Take a look at some of the choice events and peruse our calendar for conferences near you. Please let us know of any conferences, events, or festivals in your area. If they are appropriate, we will gladly add them to our green events calendar. Send us an email with the event’s name, date, location, description, and website. In fact, one of the events listed below was submitted by a reader of the site.
Here are a few of the events happening around the world:
