Oct. 4th - - As of today, academic and administrative buildings on the UMCP campus switched to "Single Stream" Recycling! This means that you can put all of your recyclable materials into one "Recycling" bin. You will see new lids on recycling containers that have one opening to fit bottles, cans, and all types of paper, making it easier to recycle, and help the University increase its recycling rate! Print a handy flier for your office's recycling bin!
Oct. 7th - - This film stars Pete Postlethwaite as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage of seven real people from the present day and asking: why didn't we stop climate change when we had a chance? Some historians argue that The Age of Stupid more properly refers to the period between 1988 and 2015, during which humanity had become aware of the likely consequence of continuing to increase greenhouse gas emissions and still had time to avert catastrophe, but largely chose to ignore the warnings. Film will be shown at 4:00pm, 1102 South Campus Commons, Building 1, on the University of Maryland, College Park campus, and is sponsored by "Beyond the Classroom."
Oct. 8th - Andrea Sarzynski - The George Washington University Institute of Public Policy - This seminar, sponsored by the Center for Urban Environmental Research and Education, will be held on Friday at 2:00pm in the Technology Research Center, Room 206, on the University of Maryland, Baltimore County campus, and is free and open to the public.
