A short reminder about an event tonight that many of our readers might find interesting:

Colin Beavan, aka “No Impact Man”, who spent a year trying to live “a zero impact lifestyle in New York City“ and Rabbi Steven Greenberg, currently scholar-in-residence at Hazon, will be speaking tonight, February 10th at  6pm [note corrected time], at a forum organized by the Sustainability and Practice Network on the topic of Everyday Sustainability: Personal Responsibility and the Planet at New York University’s Center for Global Affairs. The panel will focus on how individuals can make a difference:

The challenge of creating a sustainable world has often been framed as an engineering problem which can be addressed with proper technology or as an issue of economic incentives and market pricing. Governmental regulations are developed through a public policy process which should represent and balance the needs of all stakeholders. While these top-down approaches are necessary and important, are they sufficient to bring about change at the scale needed to save our planet? How can we think about the connection between our actions as individuals, families and communities and the global issues of sustainability? What role can ethics and faith play in making this connection?

Come along and join the discussion (RSVP to events@sustainabilitypractice.net).
