VANCOUVER, BC-Dr. Patrick Moore, founding member of Greenpeace, will discuss why he left the environmental group and how its extremist agenda is at odds with sensible, science-based environmentalism during a sold-out Fraser Institute luncheon and book-signing on Friday, February 18 at SFU Harbour Centre.

In his new book Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist, Moore recounts his experiences with Greenpeace and its devolution into radical environmentalism. He left the group after 15 years, finding himself increasingly disagreeing with its growing anti-science, anti-business, and anti-human agenda.

Join Moore as he outlines his vision for a sustainable world based on a more sensible, science-oriented approach to environmentalism. His presentation, followed by a book-signing, will cover critical issues ranging from energy independence to climate change, and genetic engineering to aquaculture.
