Event details: Lives Per Gallon, lecture and book signing
Description
In his book, Tamminen takes a hard look at petroleum and how it contributes to different health hazards. He also proposes a strategy that calls for an industry reform that is conscious of the different health and environmental hazards brought on by petroleum, which will hopefully help us to one day become a society independent from oil. Tamminen brings over 40 years of experience in environmental issues both on land and in water.
In 1993 he founded the Santa Monica Bay Keeper and served as its executive director for six years. In the summer of 2003, he helped Arnold Schwarzenegger win the historic recall election and become governor of California. Tamminen was appointed as the secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency in 2003, and cabinet secretary, the chief policy advisor to the governor, in 2004. He continues to advise the governor on energy and environmental policy.
