Hello!
I just wanted to make you aware of the Berkeley Earth Week Events. TREES
and CESP are sponsoring one of the events:

Wong Meng Chou, social activist and lay preacher, will present: "Empty
Promises: Dammed Life." This is a documentary about the displacement of
peoples caused by the building of the Bakun Hydroelectric Dam in
Malaysia. This event is sponsored by the Theological Roundtable on
Ecological Ethics and Spirituality, and the Center for Ethics and Social
Policy at the Graduate Theological Union, in conjunction with UC Berkeley
EarthWeek.

Earth Weekend 2002: The Climate Change Conference
April 13-14 2002
Where: UC Berkeley
22 Warren Auditorium, near West Circle.
*Admission FREE*
Climate Change is the issue chosen for 2002, as the flurry of activity
worldwide draws increasing attention to this issue. California's energy
crisis, campaigns for solar energy in San Francisco, and "green standards"
at universities, bring this topic to our doorstep. It is important that the
public is educated enough to make good decisions in their daily lives as
consumers and citizens. In addition it aims to provide young people with
access to the same information and arouse curiosity to learn more.
The conference is designed for high school - adult.
Teachers: Educational materials will be available. We encourage you to use
this conference as a teaching aid or field trip for your classes!
Interactive: Even if you are receiving this INTERNATIONALLY or can't attend,
webcasting and audio clips will let you participate. Afterwards, online
message boards let you post questions to Ask The Experts themselves for up
to two weeks after the conference!
Database: Add your organization to the world-wide database we're forming!

Conference Outline
SATURDAY Apr. 13th; 22 Warren Hall
10:00-11:00a.m: Panel 1 The Climate Debate: Is Climate Change Human-Caused?
Climate change is a fact that is by now accepted by most governments,
institutions, and individuals. The debate is no longer whether it is
actually occurring, but whether it is human caused.
John Harte - Professor in Energy & Resources Group (ERG) and Environmental
Sciences, Policy, Management (ESPM), UC Berkeley.
Richard Muller - Professor of Physics, UC Berkeley.
11:00a.m-12:00p.m: Workshops
LUNCH
2:00-3:00p.m: Panel 2 A Crash Course on Climate Change
What is the fuss about Carbon emissions? What is the difference between a
sink and a reservoir? What is the COP process? Who are the key players?
There's a lot of lingo, and after this session you'll master it.
Wil Burns - Senior Associate with the Pacific Institute for Studies in
Development, Environment, and Security, Oakland.
Lisa Shaffer - Executive Director of the UC Revelle Program on Climate
Science and Policy (UCRP).
Paul Baer - Energy and Resources Group, UC Berkeley
3:00pm: Feature Presentation: Empty Promises: Dammed Life
About the displacement of peoples caused by the building of the Bakun
Hydroelectric Dam in Malaysia
Meng Chuo - Social Activist and Lay Preacher
SUNDAY Apr. 14th
10:00-11:00a.m: Panel 3 Making it Personal
Putting a personal face to this vague issue.
Susan Ode - Director of Outreach for the Cities for Climate Protection
Campaign of the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives,
member of the U.S. EPA Local Government Advisory Committee and Energy
Commissioner for the City of Berkeley. http://www.iclei.org/us Susan will
likely address what local governments are doing all over the US and world,
what individuals can do and poetry.
Ansje Miller - Director of the Climate Change and Environmental Justice
program of Redefining Progress.
http://www.rprogress.org/programs/climatechange/
Peter Asmus - Peter Asmus is an author, consultant, musician and poet
specializing in energy and environmental issues. He has covered California's
power industry for 15 years. He is author of Reaping The Wind: How
Mechanical Wizards, Visionaries and Profiteers Helped Shape Our Energy
Future and Reinventing Electric Utilities: Competition, Citizen Action and
Clean Power. His articles on energy policy have been published in the Los
Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, The
Sacramento Bee and many other magazines and journals. His band, Space
Debris, was deeply involved in the effort to close the Rancho Seco nuclear
power plant. http://www.pedrothepathfinder.com
11:00a.m-12:00p.m: Workshops
LUNCH
2:00-3:00p.m: Panel 4 Looking Towards the Future
So now you've got the background, what does the future hold? A look at
renewable energy, and what YOU can do.
