Free | $6 parking permit required
Sonoma State University’s Green Music Center, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and Center for Environmental Inquiry invite you to a lecture by award-winning scientist, environmentalist, and broadcaster, Dr. David Suzuki.
In this exploratory presentation, Dr. Suzuki will touch on some of the stark questions and answers we’ve encountered, from our impact on the environment and our ability to change it, to our dependence on the human creation called the economy and the unfair treatment of our elders, indigenous people, homeless people, etc. Dr. Suzuki puts out a call to action for all of us to rethink our priorities and learn the ultimate lesson in front of us — that nature can be far more forgiving than we deserve.
Dr. Suzuki has made it his life's work to help humanity understand, appreciate, respect and protect nature. He is familiar to television audiences from his 44 years as host of the CBC science and natural history television series The Nature of Things. Dr. Suzuki is a Companion to the Order of Canada and a recipient of UNESCO's Kalinga Prize for science, the 2009 Right Livelihood Award, and UNEP’s Global 500. He is Professor Emeritus at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and holds 32 honorary degrees from universities in Canada, United States and Australia.
Lecture to be followed by a Q&A moderated by Nicole Myers.
