[Wesley Roe and Marjorie Lakin Erickson]

Living Smart Series Spring 2007

Sustainable living, what does that mean in individual lives? Understanding
sustainability and its importance in people's lives and to the planet
requires education, smart thinking and the ability to make practical
changes in personal habits, public policies and social practices. This
series is designed to educate and inform students in order to implement
lifestyle choices that reflect social commitment and environmental
responsibility. Join us for a series of lectures and workshops designed to
deepen community awareness of the fragile relationship that exists between
people and their natural environment.

Monday, April 16 - Developing the Local Green Economy
7:30-9:30, Fleischmann Auditorium, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History

Local institutions of higher education have
enormous resources to assist individuals seeking to enter the emerging
green economy. Alternatively, job seekers need to know what knowledge and
skills are required in order to participate in this next stage of economic
change. Dr. Michael M'Gonigle will lead a discussion on the most effective
means to match the aspirations and skills of those who wish to find careers
in helping their communities withstand global warming, with the ideas and
training colleges and universities might provide.

Tuesday, April 17 - 9:00 noon, Schott Center , room 20,   Steps to a 
Green Economy  Santa Barbara
Join Dr. M'Gonigle in a workshop designed to explore
the steps communities need to take to move toward a green economy and the
responsibility educational institutions have to lead the way. Dr.
M'Gonigle will also discuss the ideas outlined in his latest book Planet U.
