Environmental Forum of Marin presents Congressman Jared Huffman and award-winning Bay Area authors, Arlie Hochschild and Mark Hertsgaard, for a lively evening of discussion about how and why our values and beliefs on environmental issues vary across the political divide.  

We all want to breathe clean air and drink clean water, but our priorities can be misaligned and our thinking on environmental standards incompatible. Finding common ground requires understanding other perspectives. Can we do this and bridge the political divide for effective environmental problem-solving?
