MAX MEYERS | HEATHER DUNBAR | LAWRENCE NUSSBAUM | KATIE STONE

As prohibition comes to an end, many people are finding their way to cannabis for its recreational, therapeutic and medicinal benefits. The high demand has fueled cannabis to be one of the fastest growing industries in the country. This rapid growth has brought to light a conversation around environmental impacts, pesticide contamination and how to protect the pioneering small farmers of the industry. This panel explores the key environmental issues around cannabis production through a lively discussion with sustainability leaders and industry experts.

Cultivating Unity in a Divided World

MATEO NUBE | YASIR CROSS | OSCAR CHAVEZ | STARHAWK | WANDA STEWART

At a time of unprecendented ecological and social challenges facing our world, there appears to be a growing division and hatred within our communities, country, and world towards others who think and believe differently. How can we transcend this notion of divide and conquer? What do we have in common and as shared interests as human being living on this planet? How can we cultivate more unity in this divided world. This panel was the Friday evening main stage plenary for the 2017 Convergence
