NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Gary Machlis, Professor of Environmental Sustainability at Clemson University, will discuss his new book, Sustainability for the Forgotten: Bringing the oft forgotten into the core of the sustainability movement. The book has been described as incendiary as it confronts the history, policies, and practices of sustainability. With examples that range from the coffeelands of El Salvador to the coal country of American Appalachia, from the streets of Detroit to refugee camps in Greece and the upscale metro centers of the affluent, sustainability is examined with a critical eye and an emphasis on insuring that the forgotten are heard. Well-researched and passionate, wide-ranging and sharply focused, the book is a provocative statement on the future of sustainability and a call to action that is ultimately hopeful.
