Continuing a Legacy: Building a Sustainable World in the 21st Century
“The issues they were raising a decade ago have moved into the mainstream. Bioneers has been consistently ahead of the curve. It is now a hatchery for the next wave of important ideas that five years hence people will be talking about in Rotary Clubs.”
- Bill McKibben Quoted in The New York Times, 10/26/06 |
“For two decades, Bioneers has been the place where environmental leaders in the United States and beyond have come together to dream and embody a new culture. Increasingly, it has also been a venue where leaders of color within the environmental justice movement are bridging historical racial gaps in the environmental movement to share grounded strategies and new visions with the promise of creating a healthy, just and sustainable multi-racial society.”
-M. Paloma Pavel, Ph.D and Carl Anthony, Authors, Breakthrough Communities: Sustainability and Justice in the Next American Metropolis |
