SustainabilityU

So remember when I talked about iTunesU? Well finally UCI has begun using it for important classes (aka ones that I actually care about). The sustainability center has hosted a guest speaker series this year (which was part of my class), speakers have flown in from all over the world including Washington, D.C. and Geneva, Switzerland. People that are experts in their fields, who talk about the relevancy of sustainability to different subjects such as: business, government policy, ethics, and food security. Here's the link to the YouTube channel. I know they're long (about an hour each), but they're super interesting and relevant. These are very knowledgeable and influential professionals. Pick a subject that appeals to you and learn more about we can keep this earth a beautiful place to visit for many more years!

sustainable development="the ability meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (the Brundtland Commission, 1987)
