Sunday June 10 Billie Carr Institute Environmental Summit 2007 Environmental
Summit
What: Environmental Summit
When: Sunday, June 10, 1-5 p.m.
Where: University of Houston Main Campus, University Center
Who: All activists concerned about the Houston region environment
What's happening with the Houston region environment? How bad is it? The
people of Houston suffer the ill effects day in and day out and seem unable
to make their voices heard by most elected officials. What can we do?

Come to the Environmental Summit on Sunday, June 10 at the University of
Houston's Main Campus to find out what's happening, who's working for the
people of Houston, what you can do, and how we can all work together.

The event, sponsored by the Harris County Democrats progressive organization
and the Billie Carr Institute, will feature a keynote by Houston Mayor Bill
White and introductory comments by well-known environmental activist, Jim
Blackburn. In addition to Dr. Stephen Klineberg of Rice University
discussing survey research about environmental opinions, a variety of
environmental groups and political groups will offer comments about
environmental goals, issues and key challenges in the near future.

The event's objectives are to broadly increase knowledge of environmental
issues and introduce organizations to political activists of Harris County
and surrounding areas. We hope to substantially increase interaction between
people active in environmental issues and partisan politics. Ultimately,
we'd like to plan future interactions for the coming election season.

Houston Region Sierra Club, GHASP (Galveston-Houston Association for Smog
Prevention), Mothers for Clean Air, Citizen's Environmental Coalition, AND
Harris County Democrats, Bay Area New Democrats (BAND), and other Democratic
organizations are expected to participate.

Organizations are encouraged to invite their members and to staff tables
with literature throughout the event in the main ballroom of UH's University
Center.
