We've got updates on Montreal, Nepal, Berkeley, Oakland, Santa Barbara, Brazil, and more. For more information, contact Ecocity Builders <[email protected]>. A little more about me and my work I am Founder and President of Ecocity Builders, and a theorist and author in ecological city design and planning. I am also a practitioner with four decades of experience activating local projects, pushing establishment buttons and working with environmentalists and developers to get a better city built and running. I illustrate my own writing, and some consider my books as pleasurable for my drawings as compelling in their ecological urban philosophies and visions. I am a frequent guest of organizations and conferences large and small in my home town, the San Francisco Bay Area, and around the world. I have traveled the equivalent of 28 times around the world (as of 2010) advocating for the potential for the pedestrian city to save the world - by reducing automobile dependence, global warming, massive sprawl, ecological habitat fragmentation, air and water pollution and other harms. I hope it works. Otherwise I'll have a lot of jet fuel karma to make up for. http://www.ecocitybuilders.org/richard-register/<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=hdosiabab&et=1104621554768&s=12359&e=001tKGgN-dCo9U6F6KFBnUACpTLnejtEpkGo6R3vFXYaHK4833lHhe0Ok8N3IiLl5POcLNzahl0DFqvNvSVImomaKCpt4qKMeM-ux8xGDV0FfBlve_9o6FGwsJ-seCV461rFCI3OjGq_s71CSNnAzOp5Q==> Forward email<http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=hdosiabab&m=1100594362471&ea=michelsub2004%40gmail.com&a=1104621554768> <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&m=001JCSHxBYrkkeSdnixqbRt9A%3D%3D&se=001Mr64p6Ba2Xw%3D&t=001EgHzBAqBrdZuCwNj6qAXJg%3D%3D&reason=001IqezpQbqEsU%3D&llr=hdosiabab> <http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=TEM_Promo_213> This email was sent to [email protected] by [email protected] | Update Profile/Email Address<http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=oo&m=001JCSHxBYrkkeSdnixqbRt9A%3D%3D&se=001Mr64p6Ba2Xw%3D&t=001EgHzBAqBrdZuCwNj6qAXJg%3D%3D&reason=001IqezpQbqEsU%3D&llr=hdosiabab> | Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe<http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&m=001JCSHxBYrkkeSdnixqbRt9A%3D%3D&se=001Mr64p6Ba2Xw%3D&t=001EgHzBAqBrdZuCwNj6qAXJg%3D%3D&reason=001IqezpQbqEsU%3D&llr=hdosiabab>™ | Privacy Policy <http://ui.constantcontact.com/roving/CCPrivacyPolicy.jsp>.
