Lunchertainment...Club Green celebrating Earth Day a little early on April 13th with Tobey Russ...during the three lunch waves!

Club Green is celebrating Earth Day a little early on April 13th

with a program in the Library Learning Commons
featuring Tobey Russ!

  We will all be enjoying a Spring Break vacation day
on April 22nd which is the actual Earth Day.

Come hear about Tobey Russ' really cool and green job!

     Tobey Russ - is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Forest First Holdings which is a private company developing large scale sustainable forestry plantations in Latin America. The company has established it’s initial plantation in the North Eastern plains region of Colombia on 70,000 hectares along the Meta and Orinoco rivers. As the plantation matures, wood will be shipped down river where it will be chipped and then shipped to electric utilities in the United Kingdom and in Europe as a source of renewable energy.

     Prior to joining Forest First Mr. Russ has held various senior management positions in the commercial insurance and financial services industry over the last 25 years.

     Mr. Russ will be speaking about the developing opportunities in "Eco-Capitalism" - how the private sector can help drive environmental improvement while making an attractive return on investment. Sustainable forestry is becoming an increasingly important, carbon neutral, fuel source which will also provide much needed social and economic benefits in developing countries. As forests disappear around the world and non-renewable energy prices continue to rise, forestry has become a very attractive investment option.
