Summary:
A Handprint represents a positive contribution to the world. Jon Biemer, author of Our Environmental Handprints: Recover the Land, Reverse Global Warming, Reclaim the Future, will share the genesis of the Handprint idea, its attributes, and why it is valuable. He will tell stories showing how Handprints evolve from personal initiatives to changes in the system. Anyone can create Handprints – personally and professionally.
