[revolution from the heart of nature]

"Sustainability is the dynamic midpoint in the perpetual cycle of destruction and restoration. It means satisfying human needs without diminishing the chances of future generations. It means sustaining the web of life on which all life depends."
BIONEERS YEAR BOOK, 2005.

This conference will bring the greater Rochester community together to explore critical issues in creating a truly sustainable world. Communication and education are essential to understand the challenges we face to create the world we want. The conference will highlight inspiring talks by innovators proposing solutions across a wide range of areas, including education, ecology, economics, social policy, arts, and science. It specifically aims to support positive change at the local and regional level, strengthening community and encouraging local economies. It will be a forum for discussion and interaction in which we will share our knowledge and skills, and be inspired and motivated towards creating a genuinely sustainable world. This year's conference has three main foci:

Higher Education: The role universities and colleges can play regarding sustainability.

Developing Ecological Consciousness: Understanding the ongoing destruction of our planet and personally reconnecting to the earth.

Local Communities: Creating and supporting robust local economies and communities.

A special thank you to Bioneers for their inspiration and support of the conference.
