Lives Per Gallon: Terry Tamminen to Discuss New Book

Terry Tamminen, author of Lives per Gallon: The True Cost of our Oil Addiction, will be discussing his new book at the Boulder Book Store this Wednesday at 7:30 P.M. More information is below.

Tamminen's new book is truly a powerful book, and given his role in recent policy developments favoring clean air and renewabl energy, it will be worthwhile to check out what he has to say.

His new book really gets to the bottom of Denver's unhealthy ozone pollution, which in so many ways ties back to the production and consumption of oil. Check out his fact sheet on the true costs of oil consumption.


WHO: Terry Tamminen is an architect of California’s climate change and energy initiatives, which are the most progressive energy independence plans in the country. A dedicated environmentalist, he served as Special Advisor to Governor Schwarzenegger, head of the California EPA, and now has written Lives Per Gallon.

WHAT: Terry is touring America talking about his book and the issues. He knows that America’s addiction to oil is taking a huge toll on our health, environment, and national security, and that oil and automobile companies have conspired for decades to hide the damage their products have done to America and the world.

Lives Per Gallon is a diagnosis of our petroleum problem and a prescription for change. The choice is clear: continue paying with our health, or kick our addiction and evolve beyond an oil-dependent economy. By forcing corporate giants to pay the true cost of their business practices, the economics change in favor of more sustainable, healthier products. Terry shows how we can evolve beyond oil to products that are far cleaner and truly sustainable.
