Mon Feb 1 Visit to: Experimental Station

Whole Earth Vision Seminar will take place at the Experimental Station: 6100 South Blackstone Ave. today from 4:30--6:30.
We will tour and discuss the Experimental Station and then focus on a discussion with Ken Dunn as our special guest. Founder of the Resource Center, and City Farms, along with numerous other environmental initiatives that have helped change the urban ecology of Chicago. Ken has been an activist force since 1970 in Chicago--intervening in the Chicago's massive waste stream while serving as a leader in discussion and ecological awareness. Our conversation will trace decades of his activities in Chicago and the enterprises he has developed and influenced.

We will have food and drink.
