NASA host art and sustainability event because they believe in climate issues & so does Gov. Brown.

Last year there was a big event at NASA and Governor Brown attended.  He vowed to help with climate change.  NASA has been behind the idea that climate is changing and it will effect they way we all live here in the Bay Area enormously. A few years ago NASA predicted that water would be rising by 2015 to 1½ inches above the level it was at then.  A few years more, it will rise to 3 inches.  If you live at Redwood shores or work there in a building, you are going to have some issues with the water rising!

Regardless of that prediction, or the current rain we are enjoying after the drought, this week there will be an event that brings together John Laird California Secretary for Natural Resources, together Dr. Steven Zornetzer The Associate Center Director at NASA Ames, Dr. Steven Hipskind Chief of the Earth Sciences Division NASA Ames, and local businessman turned sustainability advocate/artists. The event is called “California’s Water: Search for Sustainability and Resilience.”

It will be held at NASA Ames on Thursday night February 13th 2014 at 5:30pm.

Michael Killen used to do the Killen report in the 1970’s and also brought US businesses to China, and Chinese business to the US.

Michael's newest venture has been putting together art exhibits that have a sustainability theme to it.  The paintings he has created have been hosted at The County of Santa Clara, City of Palo Alto, Microsoft’s Silicon Valley Research Center, Stanford University, Sustainable Silicon Valley and NASA Ames

Sustainable and Resilient Art Tour was the first art exhibit he did and this new one  “California After Don Quixote” (10’ x 6’) is sure to created awareness around the topics of climate, change and sustainability.

If you would like to attend the event at NASA please contact me, Heather Durham at Info@SVTAGS.org, or RSVP directly to Sustainability@HarringtonDesign.com by Tuesday.
