In the final analysis, the true solution to ending the global chemistry experiment, to adapting to the changes we've already locked in, to preventing what appear to be its unavoidable outcomes, and to building that just and sustainable world lies not in technology, but in ourselves." -- John Quigley Panelists Ashlie Delshad, Assistant Professor of Political Science, West Chester University, Energy and Environmental Policy Expert, Sustainability Advisory Council and Climate Action Plan Committee Member John Hanger, former secretary of the PA Department of Environmental Protection.
