Planet Drum coordinated gatherings to define a program for a New Green Deal.
With 2008’s fall elections, a new federal administration will be taking over.
What sort of ecological policies should be undertaken? With so many green
problems exploding after eight years of neglect, how should the next Federal
administration’s priorities be set?
Planet Drum envisioned a consensus recommendation.
The first organizational meeting was held at the home of the President of Planet
Drum Board of Directors on January 3, 2008. Attendees included:
-
S.F. Nature in the City’s Peter Brastow,
-
Bay Area Relocalize’s David Room,
-
Green Collar Jobs’ Aaron Lehmer,
-
International Forum on Globalization’s Randy
Hayes, and
-
Planet Drum’s Marc Kasky, Peter Berg, Judy
Goldhaft, Gail Koffman, and Mark Hebard.
A second discussion /dinner meeting was held in
the middle of January and progress in writing a document continued through
email. Stay tuned for more results!
