For this Energy Cafe, we willl not have food service during the discussion, but you can bring a drink into the room. You can order food before or after the Cafe, as well. Check out the Gastropub's offerings at www.farmersgastropub.com. Approximately 75 people attended our first Cafe Jan. 18, featuring Lindsey Berger, a Missouri State University graduate, on "Copenhagen Connections." She shared her experiences as a student representing Focus the Nation at the U.N. Conference on Climate Change in December. Here's the schedule for the Energy Cafes through May. We'll take a break June through October to prepare for our annual conference Oct. 7-8,, then pick up again next November. Stay tuned for topics and speakers, but we'll likely touch on wind, biomass and energy efficiency in the next three Cafes. March 22 April 26 May 24 |

ONE 2: Ideas to Ponder, Motivation to Act |
|
The 2009 Ozarks New Energy Conference: Solutions for Energy Independence attracted approximately 350 participants April 30 to May 1 at Missouri State University's Plaster Student Union,in Springfield. Forty speakers, more than 40 exhibitors and 19 sponsors made the 2nd annual energy event possible. We hope you found the conference to be a forum for ideas and discussion and a stimulus for action, be it on a personal level or with a community focus. Not all of our speakers agreed, and we didn't expect them to. But we hope you were stimulated and energized to take a personal stake in helping our Ozarks region become more energy sustainable. |
