Coverage of PASS Eco-Summit

You can read coverage of last weekend's PASS Eco-Summit in the Hi-Desert Star.

Speakers included such experts as Bill Brown, a presenter with Al Gore's The Climate Project covering "Climate Change Solutions". Stephanie Wiegel of the Sonoran Institute talked about local efforts to preserve open space by establishing wildlife corridors. Locally recognized expert on native plants Robin Kobaly brought "edible nuts, berries and seeds from drought-resistant plants to share from her own yard."

The Eco-Summit also included a tour of local "eco-homes".
