There is no doubt that the energy we use plays a major role is shaping our society - guiding politics, effecting the stability of the economy, and impacting the environment in which we live. As we come to the end of the first decade of the 21st century it is becoming increasing clear that our choice of energy is profoundly effecting our society and our world in a negative way. Politicians, scientists, economists, and everyday citizens are realizing that we are in need of an energy revolution to create a sustainable world. It is critical that we plan for the future now, before our path is choosen for us.
Join us this Spring Quarter to debate our energy future as we read and discuss Taking Sides: Energy & Society - a compellation of different viewpoints on our energy future.
The goal of this quarterly “brown bag” seminar is to discuss some of the environmental issues facing the northwest and the world today, through an analysis of current articles and readings. This quarter we will center our discussion on the book Taking Sides: Energy & Society. The seminar may include volunteer work, a field trip, and/or guest lectures.
