The 2009 Rocky Mountain Sustainability Summit (RMSS) will provide a learning and networking forum for participants from campuses in the Rocky Mountain region (CO, NM, UT, WY, MT, ID, AZ) to advance sustainability.

Institutions of higher education have a crucial role to play in creating a sustainable society and addressing the climate crisis. Successful initiatives - whether in research and education, operations, outreach, or administration and finance - can have enormous societal impacts by helping to shape the future actions of students, and by setting examples for the larger community. 

RMSS 2009 will help students, faculty, staff, administrators, community members and state leaders learn from each other, replicate successful initiatives and innovate effective programs to make the region’s higher education institutions national leaders in campus sustainability and climate action.

RMSS will feature keynotes by leading experts, campus administrators and government officials. Confirmed speakers include author Richard Preston and Jerome Ringo, Environmental Justice Champion and President of the Apollo Alliance. A Green Products Expo will share the latest sustainable products and services available for institutions. The Summit will include numerous sessions, workshops and facilitated discussions on:

• Institutionalizing sustainability: Policy and structural approaches for making sustainability a central focus.
• Best practices for operationalizing sustainability: Building core knowledge; nuts and bolts for campus programs (ie, energy, water, recycling, transportation, green building, food, curriculum, research, student life)
• Creating a campus culture of sustainability: Educational approaches to fostering sustainable behavior among the campus community; building systems and awareness for lifestyle sustainability
• Social and environmental justice: Full integration of these dimensions into sustainability practices 
• Carbon mitigation planning
• Regional sustainability strategies

The premier annual gathering for environmentalists worldwide, distinguished as the oldest and largest of its kind. The Conference historically unites more than 3,000 activists, attorneys, students, scientists, and concerned citizens from over 50 countries around the globe to share their experience and expertise.  Join us in Eugene, OR, Feb. 26-Mar. 1, 2009.  www.pielc.org.

On February 26-27, 2009, the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business and the University of Colorado Law School will host a groundbreaking Symposium, ELEVATE 2009: Climate Change and the New Frontiers of Urban Development (http://www.colorado.edu/law/elevate/). 

There is a rapidly growing consensus that responding to climate change has become the signal challenge—and equivalent opportunity—of our time, requiring approaches that align economic, social and environmental goals as never before. This alignment defines both the purpose and practice of sustainability and demands novel cross-disciplinary, cross-sectoral “meta-strategies” that unite theory and practice, analysis and experimentation, commerce and community.

The Symposium is designed to explore on-the-ground solutions across a range of issues—from housing and transportation to energy and economic development—and the expanding roster of best-in-class sustainability frameworks and methods being applied to the built environment and urban development generally. The Symposium will also spark dialogue along common themes, with interdisciplinary panels probing how policy design, social forces and the private market intersect to accelerate or impede progress on implementing and scaling innovative sustainability practices.

In that spirit, the Symposium—to be held in conjunction with the Leeds School of Business’ annual Real Estate Conference—will bring together a diverse group of some of the nation’s leading thinkers and practitioners in this arena—real estate professionals, law and business scholars, policymakers, non-profit leaders, journalists and others—to advance the increasingly rich, complex conversation about sustainable land use and real estate development in the age of global warming.

Featured speakers include writer and social critic James Howard Kunstler, University of Pennsylvania business and planning professor and author Witold Rybcyznski and Teddy Cruz, architect, design entrepreneur and an innovator of the new American city.

In addition, the Symposium will create opportunities for future collaborations among participants based on the questions and insights generated at the Symposium. The University of Colorado Law Review will publish a selection of papers from the Symposium in a special issue.

The Symposium marks the launch of the Initiative for Sustainable Development (ISD), the newest member of the University of Colorado’s already premiere line-up of environmental programs.  The mission of ISD is to educate, activate and unite key stakeholders from business, government, academia and the non-profit sector in pursuit of the best ideas, practices and policies in the growing field of sustainable land use and real estate development. ISD will work closely with the Law School and across the University to forge and model the kind of collaborative, cross-cutting, ideas-to-action approach sustainability requires.

What does A Celebration of Wind look like? 

It looks like ten wind energy companies making informative, interesting and fun presentations. It looks like booths with vendors showing people how to make home weather stations.  It looks like 300 kites in the air at one time.  It looks like high school students showing off the wind turbine they have spent all semester building.  It looks like academics talking about the physics of wind and the differences between vertical and horizontal axis wind turbines.  It looks like entrepreneurs telling people how they can install residential wind turbines.  It looks like kiosks with vendors selling everything from food to wind widgets to information about how wind affects our lives. It looks like high school and middle school students devoting a day of science and literature and history and art to the phenomenon of wind. It looks like fun.

Since 1977 Telluride’s majestic perch - high in the spectacular San Juan Mountains in Southwestern Colorado -- has been the site of an annual cultural event produced by the Telluride Society for Jazz combining the finest of nature and art that ranks among the world’s most memorable music festivals.  The intimate format and abundant opportunities to enjoy spectacular alpine recreational activities complement the superb music presented each year at the Telluride Jazz Celebration (TJC). Combining performances on outdoor stages during the day with theater and club shows at night, the TJC offers the best of both worlds and with its new dates in June, it has become even more festive as it coincides with the 26^th annual edition of the colorful Telluride Balloon Rally.

This year, 2009, marks the 100th anniversary of ecologist Aldo Leopold’s arrival in the Southwest. Leopold never saw his book A Sand County Almanac in print, having died a year before its publication in 1949. He might be surprised to learn that it helped create the discipline of environmental ethics and is taught across the curriculum, including literature, history, and philosophy. To acknowledge Leopold’s legacy, the Institute for Humanities Research at Arizona State University is sponsoring “A Fierce Green Fire at 100,” a four-week summer institute for 25 college faculty held in Prescott, Arizona. The program brings together five of the nation’s most respected Leopold scholars (including Curt Meine, Susan Flader, Scott Russell Sanders, Julianne Lutz Newton, and Baird Callicott), along with other guest faculty and field trips to sites that hold significance, to help participants explore the cultural sources of Leopold’s ideas, generate new research that places Leopold’s work in intellectual history, and develop projects that enhance the participants' own research and teaching. The summer institute is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and participants receive a $3,200 stipend to cover travel and lodging expenses. More program details and application information can be found at http://ihr.asu.edu/leopold.
