Conference Overview
How can you work to make our transportation
system more sustainable, both on campus and in our community?
Join us, and more than 150 friends and experts, on September 22 and
23, 2005, at the Idaho Commons on the University of Idaho campus, in a workshop to learn about and work on one of five problems:
- How can we make transportation to
and within the University of Idaho campus more sustainable and
environmentally-friendly?
- How can we design and build a
Sustainable Energy Laboratory and Transit Facility?
- How can we integrate sustainability
into our curriculum?
- How can we use sustainability
concepts in land use and transportation decisions within the
Moscow community and region?
- How can we develop a biodiesel fuel
production facility on the Palouse?
Each workshop will be facilitated by a
national expert in the field. Each workshop will begin with
one or more presentations highlighting the topic and the assigned
problem or task, the process by which the problem or task will be
tackled, and a set of possible outcomes for the workshop. Our
focus is on learning and producing tangible results that can be
carried forward.
Please join us for this important event!
