Here's some links I've collected:
Thomas Friedman has written a book, Hot, Wet and Crowded. It's about the green revolution; here's the Daily Show interview. There's a quick video on electric cars and mileage that could be great for teaching math skills and applying it to students' lives - deep learning. The effect of climate change and the lack of sustainability -one in four mammals facing extinction - interest to biology teachers. How to do more with less: packaging idea to reduce waste. A how-to describing a process to convert an old pizza oven, an ink jet printer and nail polish remover into a Solar Cell (from NPR),A Call for Input
Who would you recommend to deliver a keynote on the environment (going green or doing more with less)? We want someone engaging who can address green issues - or doing more with less. Johannes Feddema, a KU professor and climatologist, has been recommended by a colleague, and I just heard an interview with him on NPR (11-12-8 at 7am). Post suggestions to the comments.

At the last couple of in-services, MCC has been pushing green. I was able to get a panelist from Briding the Gap, a local environmental organization. Here's a link to their site:

We also have a faculty member who received training to provide a workshop on 5 simple things a person can do to go green.
Both of these may be more appropriate options for sessions, but Bridging the Gap may also have keynote speaker suggestions.
