California universities educate themselves on sustainability
Because we have our roots in the government, hospitality and education sectors, we like to keep an eye on any news that comes from each of those industries.
This week, the LA Times recognized a meeting of the minds in education that is set to begin on June 21st in Santa Barbara and will bring together 70 universities within the state of California at the 8th annual California Campus Sustainability Conference. The four day conference will be packed with workshops and speeches covering topics including energy efficiency and ways to achieve carbon neutrality. It is sure to be a productive and innovative event for universities, an area which we have seen a tremendous willingness to explore going green, and in California, the state that perhaps more than any other supports environmentalism.
In the recent past, we've talked a lot about President Obama's green agenda, and think it is a tremendous movement to see organized events like the Sustainability Conference continue to gain momentum across various sectors in our nation. Though many of us have been out fighting for environmental reform for many years, as we continue to see an increase in visibility for these issues, we are inspired and encouraged to continue in our efforts.
The universities we have had the pleasure to work with have recognized tremendous benefits from going green and we know intimately how much they care about furthering these initiatives. We look forward to sustainability becoming one of the cornerstones of organizations in all sectors, and to it bringing continual vitality and feelings of purpose across all industries.
