Events of Interest WISC Fellow Jenny Price at the Acequia Madre House   Jenny Price will be in residence at WISC for the month of March working on her book Stop Saving the Planet!: A 12-Step Guide for 21st- Century Environmentalists. Her book asks how “environment” has become a dirty word in American politics. It identifies how “save the planet!” environmentalism has too often been trickle-down environmentalism—and it calls for far more robust and equitable solutions. Tuesday March 21, 2017 5:30pm at Acequia Madre House  This event is free but please register here.
