The Chicago Center for Green Technology is excited to present an evening with Author Tamara Dean, The Human-Powered Home.

Thanks to pedals, treadles, and cranks, our muscles have operated machines since Medieval times. Could we once again rely on human power, rather than fossil fuels, to run our lives? How much power can one person generate? Join Tamara Dean, author of The Human-Powered home as she offers answers to these questions and presents a variety of ingenious human-powered contraptions used around the globe. Tamara will be on hand for book signing following the presentation.
