Celebrations will begin at 4 pm with The Forgotten Language Tour. This national tour of writers and poets will offer readings and discussions that promote a deeper, more dynamic and creative understanding of our relationship with the natural world, and offer new ways of envisioning community. The tour attempts to bring citizens together in the recognition that the health of the human community is inextricably bound with that of the natural world. From 6 to 8 will be the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of the Houston Environmental Center. Drinks and refreshments will be provided.
All events are free and the public is invited to attend.
The purpose of the Summit is to help bring understanding to the totality of the region's environmental condition and to provide benchmarks for future progress. Each CEC member group has been asked to produce a one-page paper summarizing the state of the subject that is their primary focus. These papers will be read at the summit. Papers will be printed beforehand and will be available to observers and participants. All papers will be published as a State of the Region report from the environmental community.
