SUMMARY:Fueling Our Future: Blackout: Security and the Electric Grid
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: APT \nWith seven billion people in the world (nine billion projected by 2050)\, many of whom live in rapidly developing countries\, the need for modern technologies with their attendant energy demands is increasing at an exponential rate. Will it be possible to provide sufficient energy for this generation and the next? How will the energy race change global economies and politics?\n \nWhether by power surges\, storm surges\, or even criminal or terrorist sabotage\, the electric grid faces many threats. It is a critical part of our infrastructure\, and a large scale outage could be crippling with profound ramifications. Both government and the private sector are looking for ways to both avoid disruption and mitigate any damage should there be a widespread shutdown. Policy makers are proposing new industry standards\, and innovations such as microgrids offer alternatives for critical services. \nJoin John Bradley\, Associate VP\, Sustainability\, Energy and Technical Services\, New York University for a conversation on the emerging solutions and threats facing the electricity distribution sector. \nSeating is available on a first come first serve basis until we reach capacity. Preregistration does not guarantee entry.\n \nPlease register here: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/fueling-our-future-blackout-security-and-the-electric-grid-tickets-15474388312?aff=es2&rank=35 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Our Land: Local Action\, Global Impact
DESCRIPTION:FIT’s Ninth Annual FIT Sustainable Business and Design Conference\nThis conference is free and open to the public. \nSchedule: \nMorning \nBreakfast \nSustainability Council Opening Remarks \nAndrew Faust\nOne of the premier Permaculture teachers and designers in North America with over two decades of experience in the field\, Andrew Faust is creating homes and communities rooted in a sense of the sacred in the eastern Appalachian bioregions. He is turning on hundreds of New Yorkers to the beauty of applying Permaculture design to a wide range of landscapes and projects.\nDemonstrating in classes how to practice permaculture in the midst of the largest city in America\, he integrates all of his lifelong wisdom of reading the northeastern corridor through Permaculture perspectives for clients and students. Now twenty years into his consultation services and projects\, he is immersed in this landscape and can read it\, sense it and design/build in tune with natural lay of the land as only someone who has homesteaded off the grid for eight years\, as an intentional pursuit in a deeper wisdom of his understanding of Permaculture and all its facets\, can. \n“I am here on this Earth to help my fellow human beings to achieve a higher quality of life in sustainable\, beautiful and resilient ways.” \nTitle of presentation:\n“Permaculture and Bioregionalism: Ecological Models for Economic Development” \nDr. Joyce F. Brown\, FIT President\, Welcoming Remarks \nPresident’s Panel – Update on Sustainable initiatives at FIT \nLunch Break \nAfternoon \nJon Bowermaster \nA six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council and writer and  filmmaker Jon’s ten-year-long OCEANS 8 project took him and his teams around the  world by sea kayak the past ten years\, on expeditions ranging from the Aleutian Islands\, Vietnam\, French Polynesia to Chile/Argentina/Bolivia\, Gabon to Croatia and Tasmania to  Antarctica. Seeing the world from the seat of a sea kayak has given him a one-of-a-kind look at both the health of the planet’s oceans and the lives of the nearly four billion people around the globe who depend on them. His film series documenting the OCEANS 8 project has shown in 150 countries. \nAuthor of twelve books\, Jon’s most recent are “Descending the Dragon” about his travels in Vietnam and “Wildbeest in a Rainstorm\,” a collection of profiles of our most intriguing conservationists and explorers. Jon’s most recent documentaries include “Terra Antarctica\, “What Would Darwin Think? Man v. Nature in the Galapagos” and “SoLa\, Louisiana Water Stories.” \nHis most recent films — “Dear Governor Cuomo” and “Sink or Swim\, Learning the Crawl in the     Maldives” — look at the controversy surrounding fracking in New York and why so many coastal residents never learn to swim\, though they live just a couple feet above sea level. Jon’s newest film is the first 3D film to be shot in Antarctica. “On the Edge\, Antarctica 3D” began distribution around the globe in Fall 2014. \nJennifer Grossman \nWith more than 20 years of strategic environmental legal work in both the public and not-for-profit sectors\, Jennifer is a conservation consultant in her own firm. Now working with the Natural Resources Defense Council on a Regional Foodshed Initiative\, she is forging collaborative platforms between rural and urban communities to establish sustainable economic growth via local agriculture.  She is the founder/president of FarmCo New York\, a Catskill-based company creating economically-viable and environmentally-conscious family farm business ventures.  FarmCo’s initial venture\, Mauer’s Mountain Farms\, is the first and only New York State farm raising heritage French Jumbo Guinea Hen\, is now followed by Catskill Mountain Dairies\, a unique producer of kosher organic farmstead yogurt.  She is also a founding partner of Longdrift\, an ecotourism company providing unique angling adventures in Argentina. \nJoseph Trumpey \nAssociate Professor of Art and Natural Resources at the University of Michigan. Trumpey earned his A.B in Art and Biology from Wabash College and his M.F.A. in Medical and Biological Illustration from the University of Michigan.  He was chief medical illustrator for the College of Veterinary Medicine\, North Carolina State University. He founded and directs Michigan Science Art\, one of North America’s largest groups of science illustrators. Their notable achievement is the 5\,000 illustrations for the award-winning Grzimek’s Animal Life Encyclopedia. Trumpey has worked with numerous zoos\, museums and publishers. As former Director of International Engagement\, Art & Design\, he is instituting a school-wide international requirement. \nTrumpey’s teaching focuses on sustainability\, culture\, experiential observation\, and creative processes connecting Nature to Society. He is a recipient of the University of Michigan’s Undergraduate Teaching Award and has been a TedX speaker. \nWith an emphasis on biodiversity\, modern agriculture and ecological sustainability\, Trumpey’s creative work has been exhibited in a wide variety of venues. His devotion to these issues is evident in the fact that he\, his wife and two daughters live and work on a small farm dedicated to their own food production and the preservation of genetic diversity in heritage livestock. He designed and built their solar powered\, off-grid\, strawbale home. \n\nHave questions about Our Land: Local Action\, Global Impact?

SUMMARY:Digging Up Trouble: A Panel on Social Conflict\, Sustainable Development and Extractive Resources
DESCRIPTION:Extractive industries\, when unregulated\, have been criticized for plundering natural resources without enabling economic mobility. In extreme cases\, like in the mines of the Democratic Republic of Congo\, human rights abuse and slave labor make working class enablement a far-off reality. On the other hand\, efforts from the international community to pressure these industries\, such as the Dodd-Frank Act\, have been denounced for misidentifying key mechanisms and worsening the economic and ecological situation for the local communities. \nHow do we envision the industry contributing to local empowerment\, given that political and ethnic conflict surrounds much of its production? What kind of foreign and domestic policies would be most effective in combating slave labor and ensuring environmentally-responsible extraction? What are the dangers of centering an country’s economy around extraction even if done ethically? How does a country move beyond it? These are the questions that we wish to explore with our speakers and with the undergraduate community during Earth Week 2015. \nPANELISTS: David Kienzler\, Fellow at Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment. Jenik Radon\, Adjunct Professor of International and Public Affairs at SIPA. Andrew Bauer\, Senior Economic Analyst at the Natural Resource Governance Institute.

SUMMARY:Comfort Zone Screening
DESCRIPTION:Comfort Zone will be shown Tuesday April 14\, 2015 at 7:00 PM – Hunter College\, New York\, NY. Room HW714 (West Bldg. 7th Floor). Enter at 68th & Lexington\, southwest corner. Conversation with filmmaker will follow screening!\n \nWatch the trailer here: http://comfortzoneproject.com/ \nFrom the website: \nIs climate change a scientific problem? An engineering problem? A psychological problem? All that\, and more? \nCOMFORT ZONE takes an in-depth look at what happens when global climate issues come to our backyards. The specific setting is Upstate New York\, but the effects\, both subtle and profound\, illustrate the kinds of effects that can happen anywhere. \nThree residents of upstate New York—Kate\, Dave and Sean—tackle this question each in a different way\, and for different reasons. Kate worries that her children will grow up in a different world—one more challenging than the world she grew up in. Dave sees the climate problem as an internal crisis that each person must approach from the inside out. Sean gets to the root of the science behind the greenhouse effect\, and looks at possible solutions. \nCOMFORT ZONE is an engaging\, consciousness-changing\, and often funny film that presents a global issue from a personal perspective\, challenging us to confront our own connection to climate change. \nFind out more: http://comfortzoneproject.com/?p=65

SUMMARY:If Global Warming Is So Urgent\, Why Is There So Little Action? - A Talk With Per Espen Stoknes
DESCRIPTION:The Earth Institute’s Center for Research on Environmental Decisions (CRED) presents “What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming\,” with Per Espen Stoknes\, Author\, Psychologist and Economist.  \nBook Description\nThe more facts that pile up about global warming\, the greater the resistance to them grows\, making it harder to enact measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare communities for the inevitable change ahead. \nRich in story and examples\, Stoknes reviews recent psychological research and explores emerging strategies for how to overcome this paradox. A more compassionate climate communication can now rely on approaches that employ the power of social networks\, reframing\, nudging\, storytelling and better climate response indicators. Also\, the acknowledgement of grief\, helplessness and despair can be a deep source of motivation for a grounded hope. Stoknes seeks to answer the fundamental questions: Is humanity up to the task? Or are we humans inescapably locked into short-termism?\n \nIn What We Think About When We Try Not to Think About Global Warming\, Stoknes not only masterfully identifies the five main psychological barriers to climate action\, but addresses them with five strategies for how to talk about global warming in a way that creates action and solutions\, not further inaction and despair.\n \nAbout Per Espen Stoknes \nPer Espen Stoknes is a psychologist and an economist. An entrepreneur\, he has co-founded clean-energy companies\, and he spearheads the BI Norwegian Business School’s executive program on green growth. He has previously worked both as a clinical and organizational psychologist and as an advisor in scenario planning to a wide range of major national and international businesses\, government agencies\, and nonprofit institutions. His research interests include climate and environmental strategies\, economic psychology\, and energy systems. Teaching areas include green growth\, foresight and corporate strategy\, behavioral economics and expressive arts. He has written three books\, including Money and Soul. He lives in Oslo\, Norway. \nOpen to the public. Seating is available on a first-come\, first-served basis.
