<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Shellenberger
and Nordhaus, authors of the famous 2004 article "The Death of
Environmentalism," will present their vision for a unified, investment and
development-focused national energy future. Their recent book, <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to
the Politics of Possibility</span></i>, details this message and the roles we
can all play in a renewed "post-environmentalism" that unites human
and environmental interests under a single cohesive platform.</span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Shellenberger
and Nordhaus will discuss their policy proposals, the necessity of a new
approach to environmental problems and climate change, and the specific ways in
which young people stand poised to play a major role in the transitions
necessary in the years ahead. They will discuss Breakthrough Generation -- a
new youth initiative targeting the energy and innovation of young progressives
and environmentalists, which is awarding ten $5,000 Fellowships to the
country's top young organizers and thinkers. Interested students should visit

optimistic outlook -- embracing economic dynamism and creative potential --
will surely do more for the environment than any U.N. report or Nobel

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>"To win, Nordhaus and Shellenberger persuasively
argue, environmentalists must stop congratulating themselves for their own
willingness to confront inconvenient truths and must focus on building a
politics of shared hope rather than relying on a politics of fear."</span></b> --<i><span
