In the first town hall of Dave Gardner’s campaign for U.S. President, Dave answers questions from panelists and audience about why he’s running and his plan for our nation to stop making dead planet decisions and start providing a bright future for our children.
Why would an everyday guy - who’s never starred in a hit movie, written a New York Times bestseller or held public office - run for President of the United States? Independent candidate Dave Gardner answered this question and more at a town hall in Colorado Springs on December 11.
Dave warns, “Continued business as usual will result in a dead planet. We have a moral obligation to leave the children of the world a planet worth inheriting.” So, his administration will shrink the U.S. footprint – by contracting the material throughput of the economy, putting the nation on an energy diet, and ethically and voluntarily contracting the population that demands that energy and consumes that material throughput.
PANELISTS:
- Ally Richardson, campaign team volunteer and permaculture educator
- Becky Elder, permaculture educator and consultant, Transition Town veteran, former city councilor
- Jax Armendariz Unzueta, Chicana community organizer and activist, former state senate staffer
LOCATION:
Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort
AUDIO MIX AND VIDEO DIRECTION:
