Doors open: 6 pm
Event: 6:30–9 pm
How do we create systemic change toward a better future? What are the water costs of energy and the energy costs of water?
“Watergy” is a term for the water-energy nexus. As an expert on rainwater harvesting, Brad sparks conversation on how to address systemic change around water and energy through a permaculture or ecological-design-system lens. Join us for an interactive evening of dialogue on how much water and energy is required in a water-scarce landscape whether in gardens, indoor plumbing, municipal infrastructure or industry.
