This Saturday in Santa Monica, UC President Yudof will accept the Millenium Environmental Award from Global Green USA alongside fellow awardees Lisa Jackson, the U.S. EPA Administrator, and producer and director James Cameron. UC is receiving this award for our sustainability program that you all have made possible, so this is really an award for every person on this list. The UCOP communications office produced a wonderful 90-second video which will be shown as President Yudof receives the award. The video can be watched by linking to the article below. Those of you who have been working toward this with me since the UC Go Solar student campaign in the 2002-2003 academic year will find the message of the video especially gratifying. To think that the U.S. EPA Administrator, many UC Regents, and other L.A. and California leaders will all see this video and learn about all that we've accomplished and have committed to do in the coming years is very rewarding.<br /><br /><br />To read the article and watch the video: <a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/article/23525">http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/article/23525</a>UCSB Sustainabilityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08610340574279420317noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503091319518898037.post-1492411810650238782010-06-03T08:42:00.000-07:002010-06-03T09:32:38.974-07:00SB Mayor Visits UCSB<div><div>On Friday, May 28, Santa Barbara City Mayor Helene Schneider and City Energy Manager Jim Dewey visited the UCSB campus for a sustainability tour led by LEED Program Manager Jordan Sager.

The goal of the program is not only to increase awareness about the environment, but to expand the ways that these issues are represented and communicated. This involves working across disciplines, artistic genres, and developing a critical approach to environmental media production. The program is open to students from all majors.<br /><br />Students interested in participating in GreenScreen during 2010-2011 are invited to enroll this Fall 2010 in Film and Media Studies 183, Films of the Natural and Human Environment (space allowing). In relation to documentary and fiction film screenings (CHINATOWN, NO IMPACT MAN, TROUBLE THE WATER, WALL-E, and more) and a multi-disciplinary array of approaches and issues, this course presents students with the conceptual tools to critically analyze environmental media works, and will offer an opportunity for students to develop their own environmental media projects in the course itself in an extra two-unit video production "lab section."<br /><br />Students with video projects in development may apply for entrance into the anticipated Winter Quarter video production course, Film and Media Studies 118.<br /><br />For more information, go to <a href="http://www.cftnm.ucsb.edu/Programs/EMI/Teaching/GS_splash.html">http://www.cftnm.ucsb.edu/Programs/EMI/Teaching/GS_splash.html</a>, </div><div align="center">or contact Dr. Cathy Boggs at <a href="mailto:cboggs@cftnm.ucsb.edu">cboggs@cftnm.ucsb.edu</a>.<br /><br />GreenScreen is a project of UC Santa Barbara's Carsey-Wolf Center for Film, Television, and New Media and the Department of Film and Media Studies. </div>UCSB Sustainabilityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08610340574279420317noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503091319518898037.post-39651441489970317382010-05-19T07:49:00.000-07:002010-05-19T07:54:46.074-07:00Talk: Environmental Politics of a New Century: Understanding Climate Debates<strong>Environmental Politics of a New Century: Understanding Climate Debates<br /></strong><br />Dr. Dana Fisher (Columbia University)<br /><br />May 20 @ 5:00-6:15 pm<br />Buchanan Hall, Room 1910<br /><br />Free and open to the public<br /><br />Dr. Fisher is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Columbia University, where she is also Director of the Environmental Stewardship Project, Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy (ISERP).

Since the early 1980s, they have been farming multiple commodities by borrowing capital and leasing small plots from corporations. Mexican families then create sophisticated infrastructures to produce staple and luxury commodities. Mexican immigrant families turn their commodities to “culers” or shipping and distribution companies that market local commodities at global markets. The resulting poor rate of return bankrupts family farmers who, in turn, cannot pay their laborers or their loans. In the absence of regulated markets and public policy, Mexican immigrant families experience the social, economic, and legal consequences of farming luxury and staple commodities at great risk.<br />We have developed an applied research project to address the most pressing needs of the Latino immigrant farmers in Santa Maria by organizing an association of Mexican immigrant family farmers and small farmers and linking them with fair trade networks. We have been developing collaborative relationships with social justice organizations and educational institutions to address the social consequences of producing food in a globalized world. This project will present the opportunities and challenges encountered while addressing the multiple needs of disenfranchised farmers.<br /><br />For more information: <a href="http://www.ihc.ucsb.edu/food-security-and-farm-labor-in-california-a-case-study-of-santa-barbara-county/">http://www.ihc.ucsb.edu/food-security-and-farm-labor-in-california-a-case-study-of-santa-barbara-county/</a><br /><br />Sponsored by IHC’s Food Studies RFG, Departments of Chicano/a Studies, Anthropology, Global Studies, Sociology, and History.UCSB Sustainabilityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08610340574279420317noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503091319518898037.post-12564968771940251812010-05-05T09:06:00.000-07:002010-05-05T09:11:16.932-07:00Talk: Bill Nye the Science Guy<strong>Bill Nye the Science Guy</strong><br /><br />Wednesday, May 12, 2010 @ 8:00 PM<br />Campbell Hall<br /><br />General public $17.00<br />UCSB Students $10.00<br /><br />(Suitable for ages 15+)<br /><br />Bill Nye the Science Guy knows just how cool science can be.

They express deeply-held beliefs and practices about the sanctity and power of water. Mami Wata, Pidgin English for “Mother Water,” is the name of a widely worshiped deity, as well as the generic term for a vast “school” of water deities across much of the African continent. Mami Wata’s many attributes and roles are as fluid as water itself — only the frames of history and culture can give her specificity.

Plagues and Pleasures of the Salton Sea covers the historical, economic, political, and environmental issues that face the sea, and it offers up an offbeat portrait of the eccentric and individualistic people who populate its shores. It is an epic western tale of fantastic real estate ventures and failed boomtowns, inner-city gangs fleeing to white small-town America, and the subjective notion of success and failure amidst the ruins of the past. Hair-raising and hilarious, part history lesson, part cautionary tale and part portrait of one of the strangest communities you’ve ever seen, this is the American Dream gone as stinky as a dead carp.<br /><br />Sponsored by the IHC’s Oil+Water Series and the Community Environmental Council.<br /><br />For more information: <a href="http://www.ihc.ucsb.edu/plagues-and-pleasures-of-the-salton-sea/">http://www.ihc.ucsb.edu/plagues-and-pleasures-of-the-salton-sea/</a>UCSB Sustainabilityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08610340574279420317noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503091319518898037.post-26826637521031832392010-04-29T11:39:00.000-07:002010-04-29T11:48:16.007-07:00UCSB Wins Three Best Practice AwardsThe UC Office of the President just announced the winners of the 2010 Energy Efficiency Partnership Best Practice Awards.
