Feb. 28, 2012 - PRLog -- The Zeitgeist Movement Los Angeles announces the 4th Annual Z-Day LA in conjunction with Z-day events occurring world-wide the weekend of March 9-11th, 2012. With speakers, presentations and film screenings in the areas of Global Sustainability, Cultural Values, Applied Science, Technology, Social Change and Human Behavior, the case is made for how a new set of social values is needed in order to harness “global sustainability” on the planet.  As one of the most pivotal awareness actions the Movement conducts, Z-Day has historically been an awareness success with an average of 350 events occurring across 60 countries each year since 2009 (see zdayglobal.org).
