Appropriate Technology: 
Turning Ideas into Sustainable 
Practices
with Special Guest, George 
McRobie
Tuesday, July 7, 2009; 7:00 
p.m.; 114 Upper Prince Street 
Charlottetown, PEI

George McRobie was a colleague and friend 
of Schumacher's for twenty years. In 1965 he helped him form the Intermediate 
Technology Group. On Schumacher's death he became chairman of the Group and 
later president of the Soil Association in Britain, a founder of the New 
Economics Foundation, and head of a postgraduate course in appropriate 
technology at the University of Pennsylvania. Over the years his work has taken 
him around the world helping communities find practical solutions to problems 
through appropriate technology. But more than just a technologist, he has a 
warmth and breadth of understanding for people that is apparent in his talks. 
His book Small Is Possible, published by Harper and Row, is an delightful 
account of some of his experiences on his travels. 


The Institute for Bioregional Studies 
Ltd. (IBS), invites you to join this special event at 7:00 p.m. with a 
potluck dinner, presentation and informal discussion. The intent is to share
