Environmental activist, Joe Brewer, is in the northwest during the same time period. Joe is Executive Director for the Center for Applied Cultural Evolution and a bestselling eco-theologian and pro-science, pro-future ‘evangelist’ whose work has been featured in The New York Times, LA Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Newsweek, Discover, and on television nationally. Michael and Joe know each other well, and are very much in sync. Michael is very flexible, and open to having Joe co-present at the 2nd public event.
