The intention is to explore and speculate upon current interpretations of sustainability in and around architecture and urban design, in the broadest sense- from the micro level of materials and technology through the scale of the building to the macro scale of urban form and suburbanization. We will be interested in looking at not only how the notion of sustainable architecture is conceptualized, interpreted and implemented at varying scales, but also how we might push the frontiers of knowledge toward new directions and dimensions. These new dimensions should challenge us to be conscious of resource use, ecological balance and minimizing environmental impacts in professional design work and technological applications. The workshop will be interdisciplinary and collaborative in nature and will develop as a forum where students and faculty will engage both in investigative analysis as well as design studies of a speculative nature. The intention will be to produce work of a publishable quality that can then educate and inform a wider professional community. The workshop will be structured around three interrelated phases. We will begin by looking at current interpretations of sustainability in architecture from literature, publications, professional practice and assessment methods with a view to developing some critical edge to the upcoming work of the class. Secondly, we will engage in a holistic and critical research of a range of chosen projects through the study of their underlying objectives and ideas as well as the resultant problems and issues. For example, a group may do a critical analysis of a new building or urban development that has been critically acclaimed to be very sustainable. Finally (and for the second half of the semester), students will then select their own design project which will become the vehicle to articulate and evaluate either totally new ideas and agendas for a sustainable future, or to revisit familiar problems but with a new vision and understanding of the environmental potential. The class will meet Mondays at 2.00 ? 5.00pm. Occasionally the workshop will also need to meet at another weekly time for further discussion and reviews. This alternate time will be agreed with the class after the first meeting. First workshop meeting: Monday February 9 at 2.00pm in the BT lab - room 3.402 Any questions - email amscott at mit.edu or glicks at mit.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You will learn from environmental leaders who have real-life experience fighting to protect our environment like Bob Bingaman, National Field Director of Sierra Club, and Dolores Huerta, Co-Founder of United Farm Workers. Four subsequent week-long classroom training sessions held throughout the year teach you additional skills and hone your ability to plan and implement effective campaigns. Locations & Dates: We place Field Organizers in cities across the nation, which may include Washington, D.C., and cities in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin. The program begins in August 2004, with the Introductory Classroom Training in Boston, and concludes with graduation in August 2005. Responsibilities. As a Green Corps Field Organizer, you'll plan and implement a series of environmental campaigns conducted on behalf of groups like Rainforest Action Network, Sierra Club and World Wildlife Fund. Your responsibilities will include recruiting, training, and supervising volunteers, interns, and staff; working with the media; fundraising; and mobilizing grassroots support. Job Placement. Our graduates are in high demand and quickly find jobs working on issues they care about. After you complete the training program, Green Corps will connect you to organizations with open positions and other opportunities for full-time social change work. Green Corps' graduates have held positions of leadership in organizations such as the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Global Exchange, Rainforest Action Network, U.S. PIRG, Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Defense, ACLU, United for a Fair Economy, and Friends of the Earth. Qualifications. We will invite 25 people to participate in the 2004-2005 Environmental Leadership Training Program. We are looking for people who are serious about saving the planet, have experience working with environmental or social change issues, and have demonstrated leadership experience. Salary & Benefits. Salary of $19,500, health care coverage, paid sick days and holidays, two weeks paid vacation, and a student loan repayment program. To Apply. We encourage you to apply on-line at our website, www.greencorps.org. Deadlines vary by location beginning in January 2004 and concluding March 1, 2004.

Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.2.20040209092452.020b6200@po11.mit.edu> Hello SAVE members! It has been a while, hasn't it? May I propose a meeting next week, at 7pm on Wednesday, February 18? (Location yet to be determined; on campus somewhere) We will discuss Riverromp, the 5k footrace to benefit the Charles River Conservancy, which will take place on April 24. We'll need people willing to spread publicity and to work on a website, and also to volunteer the day of the race, so if you're interested, come talk! (And if you can't make it to the meeting, email me and we'll keep you in the loop.) In addition, we'll sort header pages for our next notebook-binding session (date TBA). Now's a good time to start scoping out nearby Athena clusters, to make sure they have "cluster pets"-- nice cardboard boxes for collecting paper to be recycled. Adopt a cluster! If yours doesn't have a good recycling receptacle, grab an empty printer-paper box, label it "Recycling," and put it next to the printer. Then on Wednesday, bring a bunch of paper to the meeting. Questions? Concerns? just reply. See you soon! jessica From cambclimact at aol.com Mon Feb 9 20:24:04 2004 From: cambclimact at aol.com (Michael Charney) Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2004 01:24:04 +0000 Subject: [Save] NE Climate & Enviro Calendar * 2/10 - 2/25/04 Message-ID: <1398917962-1463747838-1076376249@boing.topica.com> CAMBRIDGE CLIMATE CALENDAR Feb 11 - Nov 2004 Climate, Envir & Sustainability Events for MA & NE Noah built the Ark before it began to rain.

Message-ID: <1077051441.40328031324ca@webmail.mit.edu> Hey, Sounds like fun to you? Please email me if interested so that I could compile a list of names. G'd day! Manshi ----- Forwarded message from Kara Reeve ----- Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2004 15:41:54 -0500 From: Kara Reeve Reply-To: Kara Reeve Subject: Computer dust testing? To: mslow at mit.edu Hi Manshi, I have a unique opportunity for SAVE---The Computer Take Back Campaign will be testing the dust on computers for the presence of BFRs (brominated flame retardants) which are used in the plastic casings of computers to keep them from catching on fire. BFRs are showing up in the environment in increasing levels, and we want to see if they are off-gassing from computers. We will be swiping dust off computers next week, which corresponds with the campaign's national week of action. The findings of the tests will be published in a report to be released later this spring. Do you think SAVE would like to collaborate and be part of the testing? We will provide all materials and protocol, you just need to supply some computers (preferably in a computer lab) and some people to help out. Please get back to me as soon as you can. Also, I've been working with some of the administration at MIT to develop procurement guidelines that will include the take back of computers--I can catch you up to speed, if you like. Feel free to call: 617-338-8131 (work) or 617-372-4989 (my mobile).

Iron is a key micro-nutrient limiting biological productivity in large areas of the ocean. It has been hypothesized that changes in the dust-borne transport of iron to the remote oceans may have led to the large glacial-interglacial changes in atmospheric CO2 recorded in ice cores. We will discuss this hypothesis using models of the coupled oceanic cycles of iron, phosphate, oxygen and carbon and interpretation of large scale ocean surveys. 12 Noon, Monday February 23, 2004 MIT Building 54-915 Lunch will be served Next seminar: Thursday March 18, 2004 10:30am: 56-114 Professor Deborah Estrin, UCLA "Sensing the Environment: The Challenges of Extensive Sensor Networks" Followed by a lunch reception Matthew Gardner, Ph.D. Program Administrator Earth System Initiative, 16-177 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA, 02139 617.253.6895 http://web.mit.edu/esi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

These activities have serious consequences for your health, safety, and environment. For example: ** Scientific findings on issues from climate change to nuclear weapons are being weakened or omitted in government reports and websites. ** Highly qualified scientists have been dismissed from advisory committees and replaced by industry representatives, while other advisory panels have been dismissed or disbanded entirely. ** The White House is proposing new rules that would bar government-funded researchers from serving as reviewers of the science underlying new regulations, while allowing industry-funded scientists to participate in the peer review process.

The next EnviroForum is coming in a few weeks. In case you missed previous events, EnviroForums are a series of events supported by Chancellor Clay that are designed to bring together MIT's diverse community interested in the issues of environment, sustainability, and related issues. Each event will provide an opportunity for attendees to meet like-minded individuals for networking, socializing, and informal conversation. Attendees include MIT graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, researchers, staff, and members of the administration. MIT's third EnviroForum takes place Wednesday, March 10 from 4:00-6:00 pm in the Bush Room (first floor of Building 10) and will focus on the theme "People Shaping the Environment: Research and Activities at MIT". We are privileged to keep up the tradition of having great speakers at EnviroForums. This event will feature Prof. Leon Glicksman from the Architecture and Mechanical Engineering Departments, a renowned green building expert and heavily involved in building projects on campus, and Paul Parravano, Co-Director of the Government and Community Relations Office and vital connection between MIT and the City of Cambridge. As before, refreshments will be provided. Feel free to forward this message to all interested parties. We look forward to seeing you on the 10th!

His recent work has been recognized as a solution to joining large-scale public works projects to aesthetic concerns and the communities that are served by this infrastructure. In 1994 a sculptural floodwall and walkway that serves as a model riverine reclamation project designed by Singer for the Grand River East Bank in Grand Rapids, Michigan was completed. Singer was selected with Behnisch & Partner to design and fabricate interior gardens for the IBN, a Dutch Environmental Research Center. The gardens serve as biofilters for air and water recovery for the facility, completed in 1998. The Canal Corridor Association and Chicago Parks Department selected Singer to design a new urban park on the Chicago River which interprets the history and impacts of canals on the city, as well as reclaims wildlife habitat and restores a wetland ecosystem. With support from the Rockefeller Foundation he lead a multidisciplinary team with the environmental group River Watch Network on the master plan for Troja Island Basin in Prague, Czech Republic. He has been working on several Co-generation Power Facilities incorporating sustainable building principles, aesthetic design, and land use planning. Michael Singer earned a BFA at Cornell University in 1967 and since 1971 has received numerous awards, including fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. more on Singer at http://www.michaelsinger.com/ PRACTICING THE ELUSIVE: INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT an initiative of the Sustainable Urban Development Society, (sfgs-suds at mit.edu) a part of Students for Global Sustainability Please distribute -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
