A hiking break.

Last weekend we took a short break from hiking to enjoy the AEE Heartland Regional Conference in Potosi, MO. It was a great time. Highlighted by Seth Warren's Keynote address and the Adventure Film Festival from Boulder, CO.

Next year's 20th anniversary of the AEE Heartland Region in Bradford Woods, IN should be pretty sweet as well.

Seth Warren, a multi-award winning film-maker, at the AEE Conference

As a professional kayaker for nearly 10 years, Seth Warren explored and paddled rivers around the globe. Inspired by the world’s natural playgrounds and his passion for outdoor adventure sports, in November 2004 he decided to focus on protecting these diminishing resources for future generations. To do so, he created the Elements Tour, a mobile advocacy project that teaches the public, and especially youth, about how to protect natural resources and live more sustainable lifestyles. He has shared ideas and given presentations to more than 280,000 people over the past four years including over 20,000 K-12 students in 16 countries. The centerpiece of Warren’s outreach is a one-of-a-kind carbon-neutral vehicle and rolling classroom called “Baby.” Warren retrofitted Baby, a former Japanese fire truck, to run on any natural or waste vegetable oil. Baby also creates and stores energy generated from wind, solar, and kinetic sources for later use. An intrepid filmmaker who uses his films as part of his outreach, Warren is the director of the award-winning documentary Oil + Water (2007), which detailed the longest-ever petroleum free road trip, as well as Nature Propelled(2010). When not on the road Warren calls Missoula, MT home. 

Seth is a very entertaining speaker and very passionate about what he does.  We will be showing both of Seth's films at the conference.

Don't miss out on this opportunity!!!!
