The International Center for Appropriate and
Sustainable Technology (iCAST) helps communities use local resources to
solve their own problems. I’ve been a fan of iCAST’s approach of teaching

rather than giving away fish since I first encountered them at a conference in
2006. Last week, they took advantage of some of their own local resources
(namely the fact that the DNC was in Denver) to organize a luncheon with a panel
of nationally recognized speakers, any one of whom would have been enough to
draw a crowd alone, and asked them to speak about how coping with Climate Change
will impact the poor.
The speakers were Daniel
