[Newleaf] Sustainability Lunch Series begins on Wednesday!

[jkr10 at hampshire.edu]

Hey New Leaf,

On Wednesday (4/3) the environmental committee will be piloting a new  
lunch series in Saga to have informal discussions about sustainability  
topics on campus.  The topic for this week's lunch is the Climate  
Action Plan, and I will be there along with my fellow envi-comm  
student member Martin Jutres to talk about the details of the plan -  
it's starting to be rolled out officially now.  The CAP sets the  
ambitious goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2022, and it's  
important for students to be aware of the implications and for there  
to be a dialogue about it.  Bring questions, comments, concerns,  
critiques, or simply join us for a meal and the opportunity for some  
conversation.  We need not be limited to this topic, it's just  
something to get us started.

In the future, this lunch series will feature other faculty/staff  
members of the environmental committee for different topics.  For  
example, Beth Hooker will be available to talk about the current Food  
Transition progress on one week, and Nancy Karella will be there  
another week to talk about Hampshire's investment policy.

If you aren't on the meal plan, just sign in at the front desk of Saga  
and you can get in for free.  We'll be in the Middle room of Saga from  
12pm-1pm.  Tell your friends!  We are hoping ultimately to reach out  
to people outside of the typical "environmental" groups.

Let me know if you have questions, thoughts, or ideas for future discussions,
-Josh
