Hey y'all!

Thanks to all who came to the environmental div III symposium tonight, and
thank you to our presenters!

In case you missed it, we heard from:
-Augie Brinker about the effects of solar panels on hydrology. Using the
software ArcSWAT  (soil and water assessment tool), he is investigating the
operational impact of the hampshire college solar arrays in Amherst and
Hadley.
-Sara Brown about zero waste initiatives on Hampshire College campus.
-Anya Uzo about veganism, experiences of poc vegans and internal divisions
within the vegan community
- Kali Ransom about "relational culture in the context of movement spaces
to create more intersectional movement spaces, and also relational culture
in the capacity that it relates to self development (connected to uniting
racial and environmental work)"
-Adam Blaustein Rejto about the Compassionate Knowledge Project. Adam is an
NS alumni fellow drawing upon their div III to host events and bring in
speakers connecting topics related to contemplative practices,
decolonization, feminist theory, science and philosophy.

Get involved!!!
-If you are vegan and would like to be interviewed about your experiences,
