I first heard of Bill a month or so ago when Drew loaned me a book titled “Eaarth”. It was eye opening and inspirational. If you haven’t hear of Bill, you can learn more by visiting 350.org. If you do, than I don’t have to tell you that this will be an exciting event. I included the details below, but you can also download the event flyer here.

When:    Lang Concert Hall at Swarthmore College
Where:  Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 7:30–9:00 pm
