>From billion-dollar nonprofits to single person causes, there is a growing worldwide movement of organizations dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice. This is a movement with no name, leader, or headquarters, but it can be seen in every city, town, and culture. It is organizing from the bottom up and is emerging as an extraordinary and creative expression of shared values worldwide. What are the driving forces behind these developments? Can the interests of these organizations translate into effective government policies and profitable businesses? The evening’s program will feature <B>Paul Hawken</B> – environmentalist, businessman, and founder of the first natural foods company – who will address the creation of a worldwide grassroots movement based on hope and humanity. The discussion will be moderated by <B>Steve Curwood</B><I>, host of Living on Earth. <BR>
