Discussion with Randy Hayes, Executive Director of Foundation Earth

Randy Hayes will present the urgency for a major shift to an economic model to deep long-term sustainability, a framework vision for such a model, and go into the practicality of the transition to a True Cost Economy.

Randy Hayes, Rainforest Action Network founder, has been described in the Wall Street Journal as "an environmental pit bull." He works from Washington DC at Foundation Earth, a new organization rethinking a human order that works within the planet's life support systems. As a former filmmaker, he is a veteran of many high-visibility corporate accountability campaigns and has advocated for the rights of Indigenous peoples. He served seven years as President of The City of San Francisco Commission on the Environment, and as Director of Sustainability in the office of Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown (now governor). As a wilderness lover, Hayes has explored a bit in the High Sierras, Canadian Rockies and Himalayas as well as the rainforests of the Amazon, Central America, Congo, Southeast Asia and Borneo.

Randy Hayes is a hero and a visionary -- a radical messenger with the mentality of a Madison Avenue ad executive who is selling just one thing, saving the world before it is too late.
