Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout
Based on Patrick Moore’s 2011 released book Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout, Moore gives an engaging firsthand account of his many years spent as the ultimate Greenpeace insider, a co-founder and leader in the organization's top committee. Moore persuasively argues for us to rethink our conventional wisdom about environment and, in so doing, provides the audience with new ways in which to see the world.

Environmentalism for the 21st Century
Every day 6 billion people wake up with real needs for food, energy and materials. The challenge for sustainability is to provide for our needs in ways that reduce negative impact on the environment, while also being socially acceptable and technically and economically feasible.

The Future of Energy on Earth
As the world looks for ways to reduce its reliance on CO2-emitting fossil fuels, renewable energies such as hydro, wind, geothermal and solar will play an important role. However, these renewables will require the help of nuclear energy, the only non-greenhouse gas-emitting power source capable of meeting global demand.

Forests and the Environment
Moore provides a new insight into how forests work and how they can play a powerful role in solving many of our current environmental problems.

Sustainable Development and Health
The debate and value of genetically modified foods
