Hi Everyone,
I want to make an announcement about an incredible speaker coming to UW-Eau
Claire this Thursday, April 17 at 7:30pm in Zorn Arena, as part of the For
um Series:
James Howard Kunstler, author of The Long Emergency, will be speaking about
climate change, economic collapse due to peak oil, and the need to live in
more locally-focused and sustainable communities.

Jeremy P.S. My friend Isaac found these great links: In case you all are not familiar with Mr. Kunstler, here is a link to a tal k he did in Monterey a few years back for TED Talks. http://www.ted.com/ind ex.php/talks/view/id/121. It's about 20 minutes long and is quite entertain ing. Also, here is a link to a trailer for his latest work, World Made By H and. It's his first piece of fiction, and is about a small town in upstate New York in a somewhat post-apocalyptic world after peak-oil. http://www.yo utube.com/watch?v=-zi_u0Q1RwY. Enjoy!
