-Dr. Vandana Shiva

50 Year Plan for Surviving Climate Change

by Blake Davis
click for a flier

The economy is the “canary in the coal mine” of climate change. No one is prepared for the devastating consequences of the collapse of the ecosystem and the economy. Government and business are committed to actions that will exacerbate the problem and cause tremendous hardship for the average person. By projecting where current trends are taking us, we can all take immediate personal actions to protect ourselves, our families and our communities.

Blake Davis is an Adjunct Professor of Sustainability and Urban Agriculture in the School of Applied Technology at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Davis teaches about sustainability and facilitates undergraduate research projects at IIT.  His students developed the aquaponics facility at The Plant.
