& the future of the environmental movement, including a discussion
of Paul Relis' recently published book, Out of the Wasteland
- Stories from the Environmental Frontier.

globally today. Pico Iyer, global traveler & sometime
Santa Barbara resident, is an internationally acclaimed author &
journalist with more than ten best selling books, whose global citizen
perspective helps us understand the world we live in.

Paul Relis Bio:
Paul became the founding executive director of the Community
Environmental Council (CEC) after the disastrous oil spill in the Santa
Barbara Channel in 1969. Paul then became an executive with the state
EPA, and lectured for nearly two decades on Environmental Studies at his
alma mater, UCSB.
Paul feels his current work with CR&R Inc, a company developing a 30
million dollar Anaerobic Digester at a facility in Perris, CA, (due to
open in three months) with a carbon free, ultra low emissions biofuels
created from organic waste, is the exciting culmination of all his
work---fulfilling a dream of making our community and state less reliant
on oil for energy.
