Eric Corey Freed

Eric Corey Freed, founder of OrganicARCHITECT and author of Green Building and Remodeling for Dummies, spoke this afternoon on “The myth of Sisyphus: A Roadmap to Avoiding Human Extinction.” The room was packed, probably due to Freed’s relative celebrity. Rapt listeners stood on the edges and sat on the floor (like Shakespeare’s groundlings).

Freed made a compelling case for the need to take decisive action to save the world's resources and species. Both sobering and inspiring, his talk offered constructive ideas for attendees. His powerpoint is available online, as a very large pdf file (be prepared for significant download time).
