Wanda Urbanska at the 2009 ALA Annual Conference

Wanda Urbanska’s complete Auditorium Speaker Series presentation at the 2009 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago. Urbanska discussed the “disease” of overconsumption and the idea of simplicity as a lifestyle, and offered suggestions for how to incorporate these ideas into libraries—and help the environment at the same time. The presentation includes a brief question-and-answer segment, which evolved into discussion on how to advocate for environmentally friendly options to administrators who are charged with focusing on the bottom line.
