The first Sacramento Sustainability Forum of 2010 will feature two dynamic speakers covering the recent climate change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the effects of product stewardship policy for California.

Larry Greene, the executive director of the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District, will report on developments at the COP15, the United Nations’ climate change conference that took place in December in Copenhagen.

Heidi Sanborn, an independent consultant and executive director of the California Product Stewardship Council, will cover product stewardship policy and the implications for consumers and businesses in California.

Jacob Grissom, one of the founders of the SSF, says, “We were grateful for the enthusiastic reception these events received from the community last year. We are looking forward to expanding the SSF’s audience with a lineup of engaging speakers in 2010.”

The event is January 21 at 7 p.m. at Modoc Hall on the CSU Sacramento Campus.

The Sacramento Sustainability Forum is a monthly venue for connecting businesses, non-profits, government and interested citizens in the Sacramento region in order to promote sustainability, share insights and resources, and support movement toward a more sustainable future.

The SSF’s first event in August 2009 featured speaker David Mogavero, senior principal of Mogavero Notestine Associates, a Sacramento architecture, urban planning and development firm.

Cecilia Jensen, sustainability program manager for Sacramento County, was the speaker for the event in September.

Graham Brownstein, executive director for the Environmental Council of Sacramento, shared his insights on current environmental issues facing Sacramento at the event in October.

In November, Panama Bartholomy, an advisor to the chair of the California Energy Commission, spoke about current California energy policy and issues.
