A montage of the cityLIVE! event, "Managing the Inevitable".
We need to find ways to contain our hunger for energy and other resources that are, inevitably, dwindling. Are there solutions? How realistic are they? And how can they be implemented?
We asked people to come listen to our experts' well-formulated ideas as they discussed and debated green chemistry, adapting our manufacturing processes, energy options, infrastructure and more.
Our speakers were Dr. Paul T. Anastas, known as the father of Green Chemistry, and is the Director of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale; Steve Winberg is the Vice President for CONSOL Energy Research & Development; Audrey Russo, president and chief executive officer at the Pittsburgh Technology Council; all moderated by Dr. Moira Gunn, host of Tech Nation and BioTech Nation, which air in such venues as National Public Radio's NPR Now and NPR Talk.
