"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.
"When we heal the earth, we heal ourselves."
David Orr
An event of the STEP IT UP! national day of climate action!
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.
