"Our Oklahoma" 
By Governor Brad Henry 

Sustainability Conference to offer tips for greener living


Beyond public policy, the way each of us chooses to live has a lasting
impact on the world around us. Recent legislation in Oklahoma is aimed
at promoting more renewable energy production, but individuals, too, can
have a tremendous effect on environmental issues. 

        For Oklahomans who are interested in sustainable living and
learning how to minimize their impact on the Earth and its natural
resources, I encourage you to attend the Oklahoma Sustainability
Conference at the University of Central Oklahoma June 11-12. 

        The conference will offer sessions on a variety of topics-from
current issues and public policy to talks on practical actions
individuals can take to protect our planet. 

        A Homeowner's Workshop will help individuals minimize their use
of resources by making economical and environmentally-friendly changes
around their homes. The workshop will cover topics such as organic and
native landscaping, weatherization and geothermal systems. 

        For Oklahomans with a green thumb-or those interested in
developing one-another session will feather "The Gardener Guy," Paul
James on organic gardening. 

        Keynote speaker Michael Patton, executive director of the
Metropolitan Environmental Trust in Tulsa, will speak on recycling and
Katharine Hayhoe, a research associate professor of atmospheric sciences
at Texas Tech University will give a lecture on climate change. 

        Other conference sessions will cover energy independence, green
building codes, and other topics. 

        We have the freedom to make lifestyle decisions that will
protect and improve the land, air and water in Oklahoma, and across the
globe, and leave a cleaner, safer world for future generations. We can
also educate ourselves about these important issues and advocate for
common-sense and environmentally sound public policy. 

        The Oklahoma Sustainability Conference will take place June
11-12 at the Nigh University Center at the University of Central
Oklahoma. Admission is $75 for both days or $42.50 for a single day. For
more information, visit www.OkSustainability.org
<http://www.oksustainability.org/> . 

        If you have questions or comments, please write me at the Office
of the Governor, Room 212, Oklahoma City OK 73105 or visit the "Contact
the Governor" section of my website, www.governor.ok.gov
