One Night To Save The World: Overpopulation
Tonight I’m doing ONE NIGHT TO SAVE THE WORLD: OVERPOPULATION. Livestream tonight at 7pm PDT. Check it out:
One Night to Save the World: Overpopulation
The Science & Entertainment Exchange, A Hundred Years, The Imagined Futures, and Skybound invite you to watch “One Night to Save to the World,” an initiative wherein science, entertainment, business, and policy converge to invite the citizens of Los Angeles to conjure a daringly optimistic future. For one night, we’re digging into issues potentially created by overpopulation in our lifetime and beyond. Join us as a group of thought leaders share new theories and grand inventions that very well might just save the world … or at least inspire us to try.
We would be beyond thrilled to have you join us in using the lens of cinema to draw attention to overpopulation.
