   Paul Hawken's new book, BLESSED UNREST, and his compelling new talk
   spell out "How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and
   Why No One Saw it Coming."  Globally distributed, loosely connected,
   powerful in aggregate rather than through convergent focus, some 1 to
   2 million organizations are pushing environmental, social justice, and
   indigenous rights causes.  Hawken is building a collaborative database
   of them at [1]Wiserearth.org--- it's now up to 105,000 documented
   organizations worldwide.

   Something transformative is afoot...
   "The New Great Transformation," Paul Hawken, UCSF Mission Bay
   Conference Center, San Francisco, 7pm, FRIDAY, June 8.  The lecture

   Center, 1675 Owens St., San Francisco.  Map [2]here.  It's just off of

   Come early for dinner, if you like, at the pub downstairs from the
   lecture hall.  Adrian Cotter from the Sierra Club points out:  "The
   New light rail T line runs past UCSF Mission Bay.  [3]Here's a link
   for it."
