The Tao of Nature: APIs and the Environment


Thursday, August 21st
7pm-9:30pm
Locus
1640 Post Street
San Francisco

For people who care about the environment, issues such as global climate change, habitat loss, and environmental pollution loom large. Even if you weren’t aware of these issues, they also impact many Asian Americans living in the Bay Area, either at their workplace or in their home.

This month’s Third Thursdays examines the work and perspectives of API folks who are active in the environmental movements, from environmental justice to promoting sustainability around the world. Come join us as we discuss with veteran environmentalists how they started their involvement and how APIs play an active role in environmental movements from communities ranging from the local to the global.

Panelists include:

  • Lisa De Castro
    Asian Pacific Environmental Network
  • Ritu Primlani
    Thimmakka’s Resources for Environmental Education and the Greening of Ethnic
    Restaurants Project

  1. Couple of links about The Waribashi Project, an environmental art collaborative between Berkeley artist Donna Keiko Ozawa and the Japanese Community and Cultural Center of Northern California (JCCCNC). It examines the disposable chopstick (waribashi).
