Dr. Kevin Danaher

Dr. Kevin Danaher,anti-globalization activist and author of “Building the Green Economy – Success Stories from the Grass Roots” joined us by phone.

Described by The New York Times as the "Paul Revere of globalization's woes," Dr. Kevin Danaher's analytical expertise, sense of humor and blunt eloquence make him an exceptionally dynamic speaker. Since co-founding Global Exchange in 1988, Dr. Danaher has spoken at hundreds of universities and for community organizations throughout the U.S. He conducts workshops on issues ranging from the dynamics of the global economy to how we can replace the power of transnational corporations with local green economy networks. A longtime critic of the so-called "free trade" agenda, Dr. Danaher explains how we can create 'grassroots globalization', empowering local communities to create sustainable local economies.
Kevin will be speaking at the West Coast Green expo ($15.00 or less)
and Monterey Green Building Expo Dec. 3

On the campaign sign issues,
Just got a call from Jeffrey Smedberg,(Wed.) Santa Cruz County recycling
coordinator, impeccable timing.
Some campaigners are requesting their signs back for reuse, mostly the metal parts, the paper signs go in the recycle bins with the plastic bag signs.
The corrugated plastic indistructo (Polypropylene Co polymer) are being accepted at the SC drop-off sites (Dimeo Ln., Buena Vista and Ben Lomand)
Jeffrey also said that Bill Monning and John Leopold have made an issue of recycling their signs.
