PHILADELPHIA’S EMERGING LEADERS:
How Young Professionals are Making an Impact and Showing Philly How to Live Sustainably!
NOTE: THIS MONTH ONLY AT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE

Featuring:

• Ron Gonen – founder & CEO of Recyclebank.
Did you know? Only about 10% of households that can recycle actually do. RecycleBank uses high-tech trash bins that weigh household recyclables, and in return you earn credits redeemable at national and local retailers.


• Jenn Rezeli – founder & Principal of Re:Vision Architecture.
Re:Vision is an award-winning small architecture and consulting firm that is changing the way we build, and having fun while at it!


• Clayton Lane – founder & Deputy Exec. Director, PhillyCarShare.
Since its inception, car-sharing Philadelphians have driven 1.2 million miles in hybrid cars—enough miles to drive to the moon five times—and saved nearly half a million gallons of gas.


• Lindsey Rosenberg – Mural Arts Program.
With more murals that any other city in the world, Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program works with communities to create murals that reflect the culture of our neighborhoods.

AND: Before and after the presentation, please stop by our Sustainability Info Fair, featuring displays with information from the Franklin Institute, the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, and many others!

Contribute to the conversation and learn more at the Franklin Institute, 222 North 20th Street, Philadelphia PA 19103. Program begins at 6:00 PM, followed by a reception and networking at 7:30 PM.

Made possible by the generous donations of the Environmental Associates of The Academy of Natural Sciences and the Claneil Foundation. RSVP recommended.
