Upcoming Events - big names in Spokane

This week marks the unofficial beginning of what is traditionally the busiest time of the year here in the Inland Northwest.  While we count on you to be utilizing our Calendar/Events section , (and maybe even one of our handy widget s ) to see what kind of eco and sustainable events are going on in Spokane and the Inland Nortwest - there are times when we must direct your attention to something that we are particulary stoked on.  As is the case with next Tuesday’s double-shot of Winona LaDuke in Spokane.

LaDuke, a Native American activist, environmentalist, economist, and writer who you might remember as Ralph Nader’s vice presidential nominee in 2004, will speak twice in Spokane next Tuesday - once at 11:30 a.m. at Spokane Falls Community College, and then again at 7:30 at The Magic Lantern.  LaDuke is an inspiring figure in the environmental community for her work as the program director of the Honor the Earth Fund where she works to advocate, raise public support, and create funding for frontline native environmental groups on a national level.

Winona LaDuke is just the beginning - March and April are full of amazing opportunities for engaging discusssions and actions focused on sustainability and envrionmental issues in Spokane and the surrounding area - culminating in Spokane Earth Day, April 26th, at Riverfront Park.  To stay up to date, be sure to visit the Earth Day Spokane website.
