Captain Dan Kipnis presented this compelling talk on February 7, 2010 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Miami, Florida. His email address is captdan@thegreengallon.us

Captain Dan is the chairman of the Economic, Health and Social Committee of the Miami-Dade County Climate Change Advisory Task Force, a board member of Florida Wildlife Federation, and a member of the Biscayne Bay Restoration Coordination Team. Recently, he setup a boater-oriented fueling credit program called “The Green Button Project,” giving boaters the opportunity to purchase “climate mitigation credits” at the pump. The money collected will be used to capture methane from dairy farms and produce clean renewable electricity. He is also involved in fisheries management issues on a state, federal, and international level.
