Adria Vasil, bestselling author and environmental advocate responsible for the popular Ecoholic phenomena, will be speaking at the University of Alberta as part of the Sustainability Speakers Series on March 5, 2013.

Through her accessible and comprehensive books, the popular eco-advice column she writes, her public lectures, and her regular appearances on television and radio programs, Adria helps regular people adopt impactful green practices and helps them navigate the behemoth eco-product industry to find legitimate green purchases. Her writing, grounded in everyday concerns and people, has won praise from consumers, corporate audiences, and environmentalists alike.

In her talk entitled “How To Live a Healthy, Environmentally Friendly Life," Adria will provide an eye-opening tour of the new green world we are all working towards. She will highlight the power in each of us to affect change, both as consumers and as citizens--to look critically at the world, to ask questions, and to act accordingly. Often times, the best thing to do, for your wallet, for your health, and for the planet, are also the simplest things to do.
