I am preparing to offer the third edition of a course subtitled, "The 
Path to Sustainable Development."  This course is offered through the 
Harvard Extension School which is open enrollment at a reasonable 
cost.  It is a LIVE case-method course with both resident and 
distance learning participants.  Featured in the cases this year are 
the Town of Arlington (Massachusetts) and Suncor Energy's oil sands 
operation in Ft. McMurray, Alberta.  The course syllabus and the 
registration material can be found on the course web site at 
<http://courses.dce.harvard.edu/~envre105/>http://courses.dce.harvard.edu/~envre105/ 
Content is being added to this site every week as we prepare for the 
first class on Monday night, February 2, 2004.  I would be happy to 
answer any questions that anyone may have regarding this required 
course in the school's "Environmental Management Certificate" program.

MOTD on Setting Orange, the 5th of Chaos, in the YOLD 3170. Celebrate Mungday!:
Everybody was a baby once, Arthur. Oh sure, maybe not today, or...or even yesterday, but once babies chum. Tiny, dimpled, fleshy little mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future like leathery footballs! And you got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception! Ready...break! One, three, thirteen, twenty-six...HIKE! Go deep Arthur! Go deeper!!

>Dear SAVE,
>
>I am contacting you on behalf of the EnviroForum Organizing Task 
>Force.  EnviroForum is a is a series of events 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, and members of the 
>administration.  The first EnviroForum took place in November  and was a 
>great success.  The topic was "MIT's Environmental Commitments, 
>Challenges, and Actions" and the speakers included Chancellor Clay and 
>Prof. Patrick Jaillet, head of the Civil and Environmental Engineering 
>Department.
>
>Our next event will take place on Thursday, January 22nd from 4-6 pm in 
>the lobby of building 13.  The topic for this EnviroForum is 
>"Multidisciplinary Research and Activities at MIT".  The speakers will be 
>Victoria Sirianni, Chief Facilities Officer from the Department of 
>Facilities and Kip Hodges, Professor in the Earth, Atmospheric, and 
>Planetary Sciences Department.  We are particularly interested in bringing 
>together members of the MIT community in the academic and operations 
>arenas to discuss their activities and look for avenues of 
>collaboration.  Given the relevance of your group's activities to 
>environmental issues, I would like to invite you to bring a poster or 
>display to the next Enviroforum.  Many groups often have a poster that 
>they use for events such as this and I hope you have one available that 
>you can share.  If not, a new poster would be just as welcome.  The idea 
>behind the displays is to generate discussion on environmental work being 
>conducted at MIT and create links among the various projects.  We will 
>have tables and wall space available to display the posters.
>
>If you are interested in sharing a poster at the next Enviroforum, please 
>let me know so that we can be sure to reserve a space for you.  We truly 
>believe that this event can be an enjoyable way for faculty, students, and 
>staff to meet other members of the MIT community who share similar 
>interests and to establish new relationships for future collaborations.
>
>Thanks for your consideration.
>
>Sincerely,
>

Message-ID: <p05010401bc31d5b12530@[24.34.33.184]>

Hi Everyone: 

Each year at registration time - I am asked by Dr. Eric Chivian's 
office, (Dr. Chivian is the Director of the Center for Health and the 
Global Environment, at the Harvard Medical School), to forward the 
attached information to you regarding a course (Human Health and 
Global Environmental Change) which is given at the Harvard Medical 
School.  This term the course will be starting February 3, 2004. 
Sessions will be held each Tuesday afternoon from February 3, 2004 - 
May 4, 2004, 2:00-6:00 PM
in the Cannon Room, Building C, Harvard Medical School

Interdisciplinary faculty, including some of the foremost experts in 
the country, teaches the course.  This elective course is also unique 
in that it is open to students from every school at Harvard, as well 
as from MIT and the Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.  The 
course has received the highest marks possible from many students who 
have taken it in the past two years (including those enrolled from 
MIT).  The course will provide an overview of the basic physics, 
chemistry, and biology of global environmental change, and the 
potential consequences of these changes for human health.  Lectures 
will be followed by small group discussion sections.  The topics to 
be covered are listed on the agenda, which is attached (if you are 
unable to open it please let me know and I will send it to you within 
the text of an e-mail - or mail you a copy).

Please contact Margaret Thomsen of Harvard 
(Margaret_Thomsen at hms.harvard.edu) or Tracy Graham at Harvard 
(617-384-8530, email: Tracy_Graham at hms.harvard.edu), or Dr. Chivian
(eric_chivian at hms.harvard.edu) for information about registration or 
any other questions you might have, etc.

Please let me know if you cannot open the attachment.

Jackie

We invite you to the Final Presentations of the 2004 MIT Seminar
?Implementing the Cambridge Climate Protection Plan?

January 29th 1:30 PM
2-105

RSVP appreciated but not necessary to bconlin at mit.edu, 2-3199

Invitation Attached


Event Summary:

On January 29, 2004, a group of MIT students and their instructors will
report the results of an experiment in collaborative education.? The
Laboratory for Energy and the Environment (LFEE) and the Department of
Political Science joined forces with the City of Cambridge to mobilize
MIT student energy and creativity for one of the city's most prominent
environmental goals.? 

On December 16, 2002, the City Council adopted a plan to reduce in-city
emissions of greenhouse gases (notably, carbon dioxide resulting from
fossil fuel combustion) by 20% by 2010, in comparison to 1990 levels.
?During the month of January, MIT students are developing innovative
strategies to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Cambridge.

These strategies are specifically focused on activities in the Cambridge
community that produce greenhouse gas emissions.? Experts in local
governance, climate initiatives and environmental management have
visited the class, and students have worked closely with City staff to
gather information and refine their ideas.  Students have chosen to
develop activities to encourage Cambridge students to walk to school, an
activity with environmental, educational, and health related benefits
for Cambridge citizens.


The student proposal will be unveiled at 1:30 pm on January 29, in
Building 2, Room 105, at MIT.? After a brief introduction, the student
group will present its suggested strategies for greenhouse gas
reductions.? Following the presentations, we will welcome questions and
discussion about the students? ideas, as well as about other ideas to
collaboratively further the goals of climate protection activities in
Cambridge.

Please join us and lend your insights to this experiment in
community-focused environmental education.? RSVP?s (to bconlin at mit.edu,
or 617-452-3199) are appreciated, but not necessary.  We hope to see you
on January 29!

Subject: [Save] Spring 04: Sustainable Design and Technology Research Workshop
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20040123232011.035b93f0@hesiod>

Sustainable Design and Technology Research Workshop

Professors Andrew Scott and Leon Glicksman

Spring 2004
4.183  | 12 units (3-0-9)
meeting time: Mondays 2.00 ? 5.00 (and occasionally another time to be 
agreed with the class)
TA: Javier Arbona

The workshop welcomes students from different disciplines that focus upon 
the design and technological issues related to the development of the built 
environment. 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 room 5.232

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20040126110025.028b7a70@po10.mit.edu>

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We invite you to attend a Symposium organized by the Earth System 
Initiative, entitled:

Was... Is...Might be... Perspectives on the Evolution of the Earth System

to be held March 7-9, 2004 at Little Kresge Theatre.

We have invited a very diverse set of speakers for what we hope will be a 
very novel set of
perspectives on the past, present and possible future of the Earth System.

For more information, a detailed agenda, and registration information, 
visit http://web.mit.edu/esi/html/announce.htm .

Please be sure to register, and encourage your students and post-docs to do 
so too, as space is limited. Feel free to forward this to any friends or 
colleagues who may be interested in attending.  The symposium is free to 
all students and everyone in the MIT community.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Regards,

Penny Chisholm and Kip Hodges
Co-Directors

Please join us for the first seminar of the semester!

 

MIT's First Waste Audit: Results and Recommendations


Student Presenters:
Kevin Brulois
Kelly Johnson
Lindsey Sheehan
Jonathan Tejada
Rachel Valdez

George Yong

 

Wednesday, February 4

12:00 - 1:30 p.m.

Room E40-496

Students in Freshman Advising Seminar 1.A23, "Achieving MIT's Environmental
Goals," participated in all phases of MIT's first waste audit during fall
2003.  Hundreds of pounds of waste from sample MIT dormitories, offices and
the Stratton Student Center were sorted and catalogued on three consecutive
Tuesdays in September and October, 2003.  Results of the audit point to
numerous opportunities to improve recycling and waste reduction activities
at MIT, as well as to potential cost savings for the Institute.  FAS
students will report on the waste audit data and analysis, and will share
their recommendations for improving waste management at MIT.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Subject: [Save] ANWR Slide Presentation
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20040131132110.00b647e0@hesiod>

For those of you who are interested in the issue of drilling for oil and 
natural gas in ANWR, this presentation would be an excellent opportunity to 
learn more about one of the biggest environmental issues involved - 
destruction of the caribou herds. This event is hosted by Terrascope, and I 
highly recommend coming and bringing your friends, as the slide show 
promises to be excellent and Elaine Alexie, a 25-year Gwich'in, will also 
be speaking. For those of you who are always drawn in by food, there will 
be refreshments at this event as well. Time, date, and location information 
are below, and I hope to see you there on Monday night.
