How Will A Carbon Tax Change Our Lives

Friday, Nov 1, 2013

How will a carbon tax change Americans' attitudes and practices about energy, consumption and the natural world?

Rarely, however, do we consider whether taxing fossil fuels could alter our deep-seated beliefs about resources, communities and our common humanity

Sponsors: Carbon Tax Center & the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation

Speakers: Denis Hayes, Elizabeth Yeampierre, Juliet Schor, and Tim DeChristopher.

Moderator: Charles Komanoff

Location: Rauschenberg Foundation Project Space, 455 West 19 Street

Date: Friday, November 1, 6:00-8 pm. Event is free, seating on a first-come, first-serve basis
