David Marquis, author of The River Always Wins, will be presenting
The River of Goodness, a Reading and Discussion.
​
​
From 2011-2018, Mr. Marquis consulted with the Texas Conservation Alliance on water issues. During that time, he wrote op-eds for both The Dallas Morning News and the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram on water conservation and developments in water technology. He worked for the successful passage of House Concurrent Resolution 74 during the 2015 Texas Legislative Session, a bill that promotes water recycling and renewable energy. Mr. Marquis is helping to develop a public-private partnership that will build an urban wetlands using native plants near downtown Dallas and will include flood mitigation, hike and bike trails, water filtration, and transit connections. He has also spoken to many organizations and public officials throughout North Texas on water conservation and issues such as planning and water recycling. Dallas Water Utilities has acknowledged the role of Mr. Marquis and the Texas Conservation Alliance in helping to shape the City of Dallas Long Range Water Supply Plan.
​
The River of Goodness is a global exploration of the ways we can create a more just and sustainable world for all. David will read key passages and discuss sustainability initiatives in North Texas.
The River of Goodness is part two of the River Trilogy from Dallas writer and activist David Marquis. A beautiful volume, it is published by Deep Vellum Publishing, who also brought out part one, Marquis' beloved The River Always Wins.
David, founder of the Oak Cliff Nature Preserve, currently serves as the technical advisor on water issues for the City of Dallas Environmental Commission. For many years he was the Co-Chair of the Mayor's Green Building Task Force, which re-wrote the building codes of the city. He was also an original stake holder of the Comprehensive Environment and Climate Action Plan. He can field questions and lead a discussion about green/sustainability issues in the region.
