THE NATURAL STEP Annual Workshop
****************************************************
SUSTAINABILITY from theory to practice

April 14 - 18, 1999
Portland, Oregon

The Natural Step is pleased to announce its fourth annual five-day workshop in
Portland, Oregon. Join us for a deep exploration of sustainable development
and an opportunity to learn from and connect with leaders in the field of
sustainability.

Not only will you gain a solid understanding of The Natural Step framework,
you will also learn about practical applications and corporate and
community case studies. Plenary presentations will address a broad range of
environmental issues and solutions, new innovations and green technologies,
organizational learning and systems thinking, the Ecological Footprint
model and issues of social justice and equity.

The agenda is designed to be flexible with plenary presentations followed
by intensive break-out sessions, optional field trips, and time for
self-organizing interest groups and networking.
