Map and Directions
Environmental quality has been a major public concern since the first Earth Day in 1970, yet the maze of environmental regulations enacted since has fostered huge government bureaucracies better known for waste and failure than for innovation and success. What can these failures teach us about how best to deal with the realities of political ecology? And how can entrepreneurship be fostered to better protect endangered species, sensitive habitat, and other environmental amenities? Please join Michael Shaw (Founder, Liberty Garden), Randy Simmons (Utah State University), and Carl Close (co-editor, Re-Thinking Green: Alternatives to Environmental Bureaucracy) for a far-reaching discussion about innovative ways to improve environmental quality.
