Jared Diamond - La Crosse, WI - June 25
World renowned author and scientist...I just finished his book The Third Chimpanzee and was not only just amazed with the information but it really made me start thinking about things from a different perspective. He hass won a Pulitzer Prize for his recent best seller Guns, Germs and Steel and is a professor at UCLA. His presentation will be entitled Why the World Runs on Water. This is a FREE event, but you must pick up a ticket at UWL's office on International Education or the La Crosse Center. http://www.rivers2006.org

Indigenous Environmental Network - Protecting Mother Earth Conference - Leech Lake, MN - July 6 - 9 www.ienearth.org Contact Guy Wolf if interested in attending and/or volunteering.



Freedom From Oil Action Camp - Southern Indiana - July 8 - 15
America has a deadly addiction to oil. We now devour twenty-five percent of the planets petroleum. Our dependence spawns resource wars that breed hatred and put our young people in harms way. It wreaks chaos with our climate, creating Super-Storms that take thousands of lives and destroy communities. It threatens front-line indigenous communities that live in oil-rich regions around the world. By day, participants will learn hard skills to build strategic and synergistic campaigns. By night, visionary thinkers will posit what our society can and will look like when we have moved beyond oil. Important alliance building will take place to move forward on election year strategies, corporate markets campaigns, campus organizing, and alternatives advocacy. Only 150 students will be allowed to go, so fill out an application soon! Apply at http://ruckus.org/modinput4.php?modin=51
