HCF Event with Amory Lovins, May 11, 2009

"Profitable solutions to climate change, oil dependence and nuclear proliferation"
How to address some of society’s most pressing problems without breaking the bank? Out-of-the-box thinking by Amory Lovins and the Rocky Mountain Institute generates intriguing, feasible solutions that deliver both profit and sustainability. Come learn about how each of us may be living in just a decade or two—the picture is brighter than you may think!
Amory Lovins, a physicist, is among the world’s most innovative thinkers about energy and its links with resources, security, development, and environment. A Harvard and Oxford dropout and former Oxford don, he advises major firms and governments worldwide, and has briefed 19 heads of state. He is Founder, Chairman and Chief Scientist of Rocky Mountain Institute (www.rmi.org). Lovins’ work in 50+ countries has been recognized by (among others) the “Alternative Nobel,” Blue Planet, Volvo, Onassis, Nissan Prizes and the Benjamin Franklin Medal. He was a “Genius Grant” (Rockefeller Fellowship) winner and a Time Magazine “Hero for the Planet”.Natural Capitalism (1999, with Paul Hawken and L.H. Lovins, www.natcap.org), one of Amory Lovins’ 29 books, is newly published this year in France (Editions Scali). It synthesizes much of Rocky Mountain Institute’s trailblazing work on advanced resource productivity and innovative business strategies.
