Portland is celebrated for its strategic land-use planning, earning its reputation as one of the world's greenest and most livable cities. Successful revitalization of areas like the Pearl District and Alberta showcases this commitment. Yet, the city grapples with transforming its aspirations for equitable and healthy communities into concrete action, especially concerning long-stalled projects such as the Memorial Coliseum and Centennial Mills.

Moderated by Brian Libby, this program features John Russell, who will address these development challenges. He will propose solutions to advance urban growth while upholding Portland's core values. This discussion was originally published on January 16, 2013, by the City Club of Portland.

Portland is experiencing an unprecedented architectural boom, impacting citizens across many neighborhoods. While the city's Design Review process evaluates new buildings, its most stringent oversight applies only to downtown and a few inner districts.

A panel will explore how Design Review functions, its effectiveness, and potential expansion city-wide. Experts Michael McCullouch, Guenevere Millius, and John Russell will share insights, with Randy Gragg moderating the discussion.

Drawing from Eastern wisdom and Western science, Peter Russell, with degrees in theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and computer science from Cambridge, applies a sharp, critical mind to self-awakening. He asserts that humanity's next great frontier is inner space – the development of the human mind – addressing profound questions about non-duality, consciousness, and reality.

Russell has authored ten books, including *The Global Brain Awakens* and *From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness*, synthesizing scientific rationale with intuitive wisdom.

Native Floridian Sean Russell developed a passion for marine conservation through 4-H and an internship at Mote Marine Laboratory. At 16, he founded the "Stow It-Don't Throw It Project." This initiative repurposes tennis ball containers into fishing line recycling bins, distributed by youth who educate anglers on proper disposal to protect marine wildlife from debris. The project now operates in 10 states.

In 2011, Russell launched the Youth Ocean Conservation Summit at Mote Lab. This annual event equips young people with skills to start their own conservation projects, inspiring hundreds nationwide. Satellite summits are now expanding its reach, beginning with the National and Seattle Aquariums.

Despite scientific consensus on human-caused climate change, political rhetoric, such as President-elect Trump's "hoax" claim, emboldens denial. This fuels public anxiety over potential fossil fuel expansion and the reversal of climate progress, a significant shift from past bipartisan support.

Join us for an informative look at how climate change became so divisive. Climate scientist Michael Mann and cartoonist Tom Toles offer a satirical perspective, while science journalist Cristine Russell discusses the politicization of science. Psychologist Renee Lertzman explores the psychology of denial, aiming to foster common ground and solutions.

Steve Russell, VP of the Plastics Department at ACC Plastics, emphasizes a shared commitment: plastics should be used wisely, reduced when possible, and recycled after use.

He expresses confidence in achieving these goals, attributing his optimism to the goodwill and collaborative spirit among all parties involved in addressing this critical issue.

Fracking for oil and natural gas is transforming America's energy economy. The resulting low-priced natural gas has undercut nuclear, coal, and renewable power. This boom is spreading globally, with the U.S. poised to become the world's largest petroleum producer, potentially undermining OPEC and altering geopolitical power.

Russell Gold's book, *The Boom: How Fracking Ignited the American Energy Revolution and Changed the World*, details how Texas and Oklahoma innovators perfected hydraulic fracturing. In this video, Gold, a Wall Street Journal reporter, provides a brief history of fracking's origins and its industry evolution. Published in 2015, his book is available for order.

Peter Russell's award-winning 1983 video explores the Earth as an integrated, self-regulating living organism. It questions humanity's function within this planetary being.

The video suggests a significant evolutionary leap: inner spiritual evolution, as vital as life's emergence. Russell argues this shift in consciousness is crucial for successfully managing global crises.
