Come to the kick off for “A Point and a Pint” happy hour series on April 25 at 6:00 p.m. at Kristin’s Riverwalk, 1140 Clark Street, Stevens Point. Torbjörn Lahti will spark ideas and conversations among participants of this happy hour by giving a short talk, drawing upon experiences that have made him a world renowned leader in sustainable development. A planner and economist, Lahti is the founder of the Swedish eco-municipality movement and has worked with over 100 municipalities in providing eco-municipality education and assistance. He co-authored the award-winning book The Natural Step for Communities: How Cities & Towns Can Change to Sustainable Practices (New Society Publishers, 2004), and presently co-directs the Institute for Ecomunicipality Education & Assistance.
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to connect with a world-renowned expert in the field!
A Point and a Pint! is a series of evening happily-learning hours intended to promote learning, networking, and enjoyable conversation on topics related to community development. The free, public event is typically held at 6 PM; locations may vary.
I think as an example of the widespread impact of Torbjörn Lahti's work and outreach, many people may recall that Stevens Point became an eco-municipality in 2007. For more background info on that effort here, “A Path to a Sustainable Stevens Point” task force report on the city’s web page:
