Biomimicry: Designing A Sustainable Future Using Nature’s Genius (7:30PM - 9:00PM)

Join Adiel Gavish -- Sustainability Strategist, Cameron-Cole, LLC, and Program Director, Federated Conservationists of Westchester County at Teatown Lake Reservation for a fascinating presentation and discussion on “biomimicry.”

Biomimicry is a new discipline that studies nature’s best ideas and then imitates these designs and processes to solve human problems. Nature is the residing green guru after conducting research and design for 3.85 billion years.

There are 50 million species on this planet that hold the secret ingredients of successful sustainable design. In order to live in balance with the natural world and make things that are life-friendly, we must look to nature as our mentor, model and measure.

This talk will look at what “green” really means, how nature "makes" things, and how we can apply and integrate life’s principles into everything we make and do. Attendees will participate in design challenges.

Energy efficient buildings inspired by passive cooling in termite mounds, growing a business like a rainforest, and non-toxic fabric finishes inspired by water repellant lotus plants are examples of biomimicry changing our world today.

Free and open to all adults.

2008 New Haven Jazz Fest (5:30PM)
Just up the way from Westchester, New Haven's Jazz Fest is back! Get ready to pack your lawn chairs and blankets for three jazz-filled days August 8th, 9th and 10th on the New Haven Green. The New Haven Jazz Festival returns to downtown New Haven this August under the helm of Jazz Haven, a non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to the appreciation and proliferation of jazz as America’s true artform. Under the moniker All Great Jazz Is Local, Jazz Haven has assembled an impressive roster of musicians, most all with ties to the Elm City. The line-up of musicians, too, have all expressed enthusiastic interest in performing in this revival in New Haven this summer, including former New Haven residents Harold Danko and Wayne Escoffery, both of whom have developed outstanding national and international reputations as performers. Also featured will be Orange resident and piano prodigy Christian Sands, whose recent recordings and performances – including a duet with Oscar Peterson at the 2006 Grammy’s Salute to Jazz – earned him the title “the next Jazz giant”. Other musicians and groups with Connecticut ties include Wycliffe Gordon, Bridgeport’s jazz vocalist Giacomo Gates, New Haven-based drummer Jesse Hameen II and Insight, featuring Hartford’s Curtis.
