Laugh. Sorry, when I add these to the calendar, they do a post as well automatically. Didn't mean to badger you into submission.

I'm not feeling badgered. I'm still curious what the lectures are about.

Okay then.
The primary theme is sustainable building techniques, but they cover a whole range of topics. The last one I went to was on the relationships between sustainable food and cities: the power of feeding your neighborhood locally, and the relationship between neighborhood sustainability and food sustainability. They had food policy experts and professors from toronto, oregon, seattle, and vancouver. It was super interesting.
They haven't announced the topic for the next one, but the few after that seem to focus on innovative new technologies in green building and sustainable development. Later this year they'll have Van Jones up here (a widely known civil rights activist focusing on green and poverty issues).
Another great local series, if you can afford it, is the National Geographic Lecture Series at Benaroya. I'm pretty excited about April's because they have the Executive Editor of NG speaking directly to the challenge of climate change.
