Sustainable Preservation- The Power of Preservation and Reuse as a Green Strategy: Jean Carroon
March 23, 7 PM at Trinity Church, Boston.

Co-sponsored by Trinity Church and the Boston Society of Architects

Buildings account for nearly 40% of all U.S. energy use and carbon emissions. With one of the country’s leading preservation architects as your guide, the lecture will explore the power of adaptive reuse to reduce those numbers and move us toward sustainability. Sustainable Preservation makes a compelling argument that preservation and sustainability don’t just protect the environment, but deliver a full range of societal benefits, from job creation to stronger social connection. Jean Carroon, FAIA, LEED® AP is a principal in Goody Clancy’s highly regarded preservation practice and has earned national recognition for her expertise in applying sustainable-design technology to historic buildings. Tickets $15 ($10 BSA and Trinity Church members and students), available 617.536.0944 x225 or sustainablepreservation.eventbrite.com. Book-signing to follow. CE credit available.

Working with Stone- Creating a Connection with the Spirit of Place: Dan Snow March 30, 7 PM at Trinity Church, Boston.

Co-sponsored Trinity Church and The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University

The gardener’s perspective is the perfect loci for seeking inward and reaching outward, for ordering the experience of time and space, and observing higher orders. Dan Snow is a designer of outdoor spaces in stone, and an art maker specializing is dry stone constructions. He is the author of In the Company of Stone and Listening to Stone—Hardy Structures, Perilous Follies, and Other Tangles with Nature and the subject of the PBS documentary Stone Rising. Tickets $20 member, $25 non member, available at 617.536.0944 x225 or online arboretum.harvard.edu. Book-signing to follow.

The Earth Is Our Garden: Bill McKibben
April 7, 7 pm, Trinity Church, Boston.

Co-sponsored Trinity Church and The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University

In 2010 the Boston Globe called McKibben “probably the nation’s leading environmentalist” and Time magazine described him as “the world’s best green journalist.” Bill McKibben is one the most recognized defenders of our planet and chronicler of how we could better inhabit it. His newest book, Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet, is his latest plea for each of us to consider deeply how we tread upon this earth. In 2009 he led the organization of 350.org, which coordinated what CNN called “the most widespread day of political action in the planet’s history” with 5,200 simultaneous demonstrations in 181 countries. Tickets $20 member, $25 non member, available at The Shop at Trinity (206 Clarendon Street, lower level), by phone (617.536.0944 x225) or online arboretum.harvard.edu. Book-signing to follow.
