As consumers take environmentalism into their own hands, a dynamic green marketplace has emerged: Organic food, hybrid automobiles, and biofuels imply that we can stop global warming by swapping dirty products for “clean” ones. But can Earth-friendly goods really save the planet?
Journalist and Demos fellow Heather Rogers, author of Green Gone Wrong, takes a critical look at the products and practices that pledge to fix our environmental woes.
Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life with Demos and University Book Store. Series media sponsorship provided by Publicola. Series supported by The Boeing Company Charitable Trust, the RealNetworks Foundation and the Otto Haas Charitable Trust.
Advance tickets are $5 at www.brownpapertickets.com or 800/838-3006, or at the door beginning at 6:30 pm. Town Hall members receive priority seating. Late seating is not guaranteed.

Green Gone Wrong
How Our Economy Is Undermining the Environmental Revolution
In Green Gone Wrong environmental writer Heather Rogers blasts through the marketing buzz of big corporations and asks a simple question: Do today’s much-touted 'green' products—carbon offsets, organic food, biofuels, and eco-friendly cars and homes—really work? Implicit in efforts to go green is the promise that global warming can be stopped by swapping out dirty goods for 'clean' ones. But can earth-friendly products really save the planet? More at:
