Join us for a lively presentation and discussion with Dr. Chuck Greene about his ambitious plan to transform modern society from its currently unsustainable fossil-fuel addiction to a new reliance on algal bioenergy.
Along with this energy transformation, the plan also integrates a suite of technologies that will reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere while simultaneously enhancing global food security.
Dr. Greene is the Director of Ocean Resources and Ecosystems Program at Cornell University and resides part-time on San Juan Island. Professor Greene’s research interests range from the ecological dynamics of marine animal populations to the effects of global climate change on ocean ecosystems. More recently, he has led an international consortium of universities and other organizations conducting algal bioenergy research to help develop pathways for transitioning from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy sources.
This talk is being sponsored by Islands Energy, a collaborative group of local citizens and organizations working together to increase energy efficiency and conservation and promote renewable energy. Islands Energy is led by the San Juan Islands Conservation District in partnership with OPALCO.
