Just a note to say thank you to all of those (about thirty in all) who showed up to hear Heather Rogers and Elizabeth Royte talk about trash and our disposal of it at our Lantern/Satya sponsored event a week ago. Heather and Elizabeth accurately showed the complexities of a society that values disposability and collective amnesia over conservation and the successful long-term handling of our natural resources. In fitting celebration, Lantern managed to make the event zero waste, which was, really, the least we can do.

Lantern is planning an event on Sudan for June, although we haven't confirmed who's going to speak or where it's going to be yet. But visit this blog page and our events page frequently and we'll be sure to let you know as soon as we do!
