energy costs at your home, business, school and community. (see workshop 
descriptions under schedule at www.cooppower.coop) 
# 8    You can bring the whole family!
Your kids will have as much fun as you in the super fun & exciting 
programs for Grades K-8, led by The Urban Ecology Institute, "the official 
science partner of the Boston Public Schools." Things like cooking tasty 
treats in solar ovens, building sail cars and racing them, harnessing the 
energy of the human-body and even worm composting!!  Excellent childcare 
for younger children too.
#7     You can party with us Friday night!
It starts with a Carbon Footprint mixer at 5:30, then up to the 10th floor 
of the Campus Center for a delicious buffet dinner, keynote speaker and 
live Latin sounds of Conjunto Tipico Sabor Campesino and your favorite 
dance tunes with DJ Brando. Bring your friends!
#6     You'll get inspired by David Morris -one of the "nation's most 
innovative thinkers" according to Bill Moyers. He'll speak on how 
communities need to take action now or be left to beg at the door of 
multi-national energy giants.
#5     You'll listen and talk with Carl Anthony - one of the preeminent 
thought leaders on environmental justice in the USA who'll be laying out a 
roadmap to change the way America deals with energy, pollution, green jobs 
and marginalized communities.
#4     The cost of admission is tiny compared to what you will save over 
the next few years in energy costs if you put all that Ask the Expert's 
advice to work!
#3     You'll be a local hero in your school, town, business or campus!
Bring to your community or workplace cost-saving solutions from the 
full-day networking meetings on Cost Reduction Solutions for Business and 
Community Leaders, or learn from the leaders in Energy Savings and 
Transitioning to a Sustainable Campus like Mt. Wachusetts' massive solar 
electric initiatives.
#2     Being around people who envision a more beautiful future is good 
for your mental health!  The excitement for positive change will be 
palpable.
#1     Because it's the right thing to do! -  for ourselves, our children, 
their children, for peace and for the Earth! If we don't plan our energy 
future who will? (We know that Exxon-Mobil, BP, GM, etc. are making their 
plans for a "green" future – so let's make ours!)
