More events and resources
I’m sure that many of you are thinking about your project and hoping to complete it before we get into a rush in the second half of the quarter.
I see that there is a public lecture about mass extinction on October 2. It’s at the Brighton Town Hall at 7pm and is sponsored by the Animal Rights Advocates of Upstate New York. I would note that, in general, something as passive as watching a film or lecture is not what I would usually consider “experiential.” However, it does provide an opportunity for a question-and-answer session and some social contact with people involved in these issues. I hope you’ll take advantage of these opportunities for interactive learning.
Two more local resources that you might find interesting are:
The Politics of Food, a group that is involved in sustainable agriculture and food security.
Climate Change Central, a community resource center. They have a movie showing planned for Friday, October 10 and a book discussion group on Tuesday, October 14.
Also, RIT is participating in the local Low Carbon Diet Challenge, which I announced earlier. Now there is a more convenient location: the CIMS building, Room 2230, on three Wednesday nights in October (Oct. 1, 6-9pm; Oct. 15; and Oct. 29).
