Small Acts That Stave Off Major Global Crises, Save the World and Spare Our Wallets
In these fun, informative presentations, Adria Vasil gives you an eye-opening tour of the new green world we are all working towards. Optimistic and plainspoken, she doesn't just talk about buying smarter products. She highlights the power in each of us to affect change, both as consumers and as citizens--to look critically at the world, to ask questions, and to act accordingly. Often times, she says, the best thing to do, for your wallet, for your health, and for the planet, is also the simplest thing to do. Her talks are not anti-consumer or anti-government; they're pro-awareness. And they showcase the immense charm and pragmatic ingenuity that have made her the hippest green speaker in North America. Adria has spoken to at university campuses, professional conferences, high schools and community events. She is available to discuss a number of issues, listed below and will happily cater a speech to your needs.
