A View from the Sustainability Trenches: False Solutions and Meaningful Answers with Auden Schendler
We are now offering a virtual option. If you would like to attend virtually, please register here.
Auden Schendler spent his career in sustainable business, first at RMI and then at Aspen Skiing Company. He focused on large-scale, meaningful actions including movement building, policy, and activism, but also pioneered projects in small hydroelectricity, green building, coal mine methane capture, and utility scale solar. He is the author of two books: Getting Green Done, and new last year: Terrible Beauty: Reckoning with Climate Complicity and Rediscovering Our Soul. Terrible Beauty is a trench-view story of the failure of the modern environmental movement—and an inspiring prescription for change. He was named a “climate innovator” by Time magazine and a “climate saver” by the EPA. He has been a Colorado Air Quality Control Commissioner in and a town councilman in Basalt. With partners, he recently purchased a coal mine in Paonia to destroy leaking methane.
