APRIL 13, 14, 15 & 16, 2000

Ecological solutions must be brought into the mainstream of places, politics, and planning. This year's H.O.P.E.S. conference provides a forum for sharing local solutions to global problems by celebrating grassroots efforts around the country and around the world. We will use our home, Eugene, Oregon, as a model to explore the challenges facing the diverse and spirited communities that are at a crossroads of environmental change.

As citizens, designers, artists, and visionaries, we all play active roles in shaping the livability and sustainability of our communities. We invite you to bring your own stories, experiences, and ideas to the conference. We believe that your solutions can lead the world towards realizing a new and continued commitment to the places we call home.
