Wednesday

Nina Simmons joined us by telephone,
Nina is Co-Founder and co-producer Bioneers’ annual conference.
This year, she began co-teaching a workshop called Cultivating Women’s Leadership,
to brainstorm about envisioning a broad progressive women’s movement with environment at its heart. The gathering served as an incubator, resulting in the formation of CodePink: Women for Peace.
She previously served as president of Seeds of Change.
In 2002 Nina produced a retreat for diverse women leaders called UnReasonable Women for the Earth, to brainstorm about envisioning a broad progressive women’s movement with environment at its heart.
In 2006, she and her husband and partner Kenny Ausubel, (also Bioneers Co-Founder, and co-produced Bioneers’ annual conference), were awarded the Green Cross Millennium Award for Community Environmental Leadership.

What can we do?
Inspire people to innovate, reinvent, redesign and transform.
Stay connected with your joy, don't freak-out, follow your joy, follow your passion.
The Environment is the mother of all innovation.
Use your 10 year goggles.
Find Indigenous knowledge, localization is the key.
Story telling works well, reach into their own experiences,
Kill your TV, I did!
