How can green architectural designs, local food production, efficient transportation, and conservation and renewable energy practices help our society achieve long-term sustainability and energy independence? Join Elon University Professor Dr. Andy Angyal on April 13 at 7 PM at West Regional Library for a special presentation, "Green Design and the Quest for Sustainability," to glean some answers.
Many modern American building and transportation designs grew out of the period of cheap fossil fuel energy during the 20th century. However, with the emergence of global warming and climate change, Peak Oil, increases in fossil fuel prices, and projections of rapid population increases in the state, we will have to find ways to design a more efficient and sustainable culture.
Join Dr. Angyal as he examines how local food production, improved public transportation and more sensible land use planning practices can contribute to the creation of a more sustainable society. Adults and teens are invited to this presentation. Advanced registration is required; call 463-8500 to sign up.
