Last week, LCV hosted a fundraiser in New York City to help reach the goal of electing 60 pro-environment Senators and to present an Environmental Lifetime Achievement award to James Gustave Speth.
Speth, Dean of the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale, served as administrator of the United Nations Development Programme and chair of the UN Development Group. Prior to his work with the United Nations, Speth was founder and president of the World Resources Institute, professor of law at Georgetown University, chairman of the US Council on Environmental Quality and senior attorney and cofounder of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
New York League of Conservation Voters Executive Director Marcia Byrstyn introduced the Mayor and spoke eloquently about NYLCV’s activities and their support of Mr. Bloomberg. Bloomberg, known for his support of renewable energy and penchant for wind turbines, praised LCV as an “indispensable organization” that “helps to make all the good stuff happen.”
Here’s a photo of Mayor Bloomberg at our event.
