Eban Goodstein

His parents were affiliated with the Highlander Research and Education Center,[1] a networking and skills-training institute that facilitates grassroots organizing for issues of social and environmental justice throughout Appalachia and the South.

Goodstein was a writer-in-residence at the Mesa Refuge Writers' Retreat,[5] is on the steering committee of Economics for Equity and the Environment Network (E3),[6] and the Editorial Board of Sustainability: The Journal of Record.

Between 2000 and 2004, Goodstein worked with Matthew Follett to produce the Race to Stop Global Warming, a 10K non-competitive footrace that involved thousands of runners and their families in eight cities across the United States.

In January 2008, over 1900 universities, schools, and civic groups nationwide participated in what amounted to one of the largest teach-in in U.S. history, involving over a million people in an event designed to educate and engage Americans in a discussion of global warming solutions.

At Bard, Goodstein initiated and directs the C2C Fellows Program [9]—a national network of undergraduates and recent graduates who aspire to sustainability leadership in business and politics.

C2C Fellows runs weekend skills training workshops across the country, helping young people develop paths to leadership careers from which they can make a difference in the world, while in their 20s.
