GAIA (Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives)is a worldwide alliance of more than 800 grassroots groups, non-governmental organizations, and individuals in over 90 countries whose ultimate vision is a just, toxic-free world without incineration.

GAIA and the Institute for Policy Studies invite you to come meet and celebrate 2013 Goldman Environmental Prize winners!

They are showing how grassroots movements can create:

• healthy communities

• environmental & worker justice
• zero waste and
• clean energy solutions

The reception will include brief presentations by 3 winners of the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize (who will be honored for their outstanding environmental leadership at a DC Prize Ceremony the day before), as well as a chance to socialize and celebrate.

Who they are must remain a mystery until the winners are announced on April 15th. But please RSVP by April 16th at (202) 787-5229 or netfa@ips-dc.org.
