Summary: Wednesday, March 5, 2014 The UCSC Student Environmental Center is presenting its 13th Annual “Earth Summit” on Thursday, March 6th. That’s tomorrow! The Earth Summit will be held in the College 9/10 Multipurpose Room, and while UCSC students are the target audience, members of the public, including KUSP listeners, are invited to attend. The event will run from 10:00 o’clock in the morning until 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon. Again, that’s tomorrow. The theme of this year’s Earth Summit is: Imitate, Innovate, Initiate. If you go, be prepared to learn about waste prevention, water and energy conservation, green building, social and environmental justice, transportation, and much more! There will be fresh local foods, informative and fun workshops, tabling, keynote speakers, and wonderful entertainment! The bulletin published by the Earth Summit sponsors put the following statement in caps: “Did we mention it's all FREE?” On a personal note, I am not quite sure about the “Imitate” part of the theme. I hope the sponsors mean that we should “imitate” some good examples. Our current methods of living together, in my opinion, don’t much meet the “sustainability” objectives that the Earth Summit will be promoting. But “Innovating” and “Initiating?” That sounds good.
