The Brooklyn College Sustainability Roundtable invites you to
Sustainability Notes #5
Tuesday, May 6, 2008
2:00-3:00 PM
Room 1141 Ingersoll Hall
Brooklyn College
Across the U. S. and around the world, communities are beginning to
recognize that current technological and social practices are
unsustainable. Ultimately, humans must wean themselves from
nonrenewable resources, reduce their impact on the environment, and
alter their institutions to guarantee a healthy world will be delivered
to future generations.
Brooklyn College faculty are helping to build the means to these ends.
You are invited to learn more about their ongoing research at this
series of short, non-technical presentations.
