Dr. Chiras also lectures widely on a variety of topics, including ways to build a sustainable society, green building, and renewable energy. In addition to his scientific and environmental pursuits, Dr. Chiras is a river runner, cross-country skier, bicyclist, organic gardener, and musician. He and his two sons live in a state-of-the-art environmental passive solar/solar electric home in Evergreen, Colorado, overlooking the snowcapped Rocky Mountains.
