| WFFE Events At least three times a year WFFE
presents events that contribute to discussions and education
around important environmental issues in our region. These events are in the form of
both informal roundtables and an Environmental Issues Slam. Informal roundtables
to bring together civic leaders, scientific experts, and interested individuals for
discussion of current environmental topics. The Environmental Issues Slam presents
seven important environmental issues in the region allowing audience members to
decide on which issues are most urgent. Upcoming Events:
Wednesday, April 24, 2013 The 3rd Annual Great Environmental Issues Slam! 6:30 - 7:00 p.m. Socializing and Carb-loading 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. Environmental Issues Slam Location: The REI Flagship Store 222 Yale Ave. North, Downtown Seattle The Event: Seven local movers and shakers who are passionate about an environmental issue will each have 5 minutes to convince us that it is critically important for the future of all Washingtonians that we tackle THEIR issue NOW. Audience members will vote on the most persuasive presentation and the winner will earn the right to designate a nonprofit group as recipient of a $1,000 grant from the Washington Foundation for the Environment for work on their issue. The second place finisher will receive a $500 grant. Come watch the competition and help determine the winner. Refereed by: Ross Reynolds from KUOW The Conversation Meet the Contenders:
