Making a Life on a Tough New Planet

"Our old familiar globe is suddenly melting, drying, acidifying, flooding,
and burning in ways that no human has ever seen. We've created, in very
short order, a new planet, still recognizable but fundamentally different.
Call it eaarth. Eaarth is a manifesto on the new economic and cultural
realities on a changed planet and suggestions for the kind of change
we'll need in order to make our civilization endure."

Scientists from our local universities, companies, and museums will share
their story, passion, and science to packed houses throughout the Bay Area.
Programs would feature hundreds of hands-on-activities, provocative
conversations, electrifying performances, and tours of cutting-edge facilities."

The festival is organized by UCSF,with several Bay Area collaborators.
