Net Impact at Portland State University
On Thursday, October 15, 2009 Darcy Winslow shared the 18 minute documentary about her trip to Antarctica with polar explorer Robert Swan, “Leadership on the Edge: 2041 and Antarctica.” The event was hosted by the Portland State University chapter of Net Impact, an international organization for people interested in business and sustainability and the Center for Global Leadership in Sustainability.
The night’s conversations focused around the SustainAbility Institute’s C-LEARN module to be used this December at the upcoming U.N. Summit on Climate Change in Copenhagen. Tyler Katzenberg, the Net Impact Chapter President at PSU, said that the goal of this event is to raise awareness of environmental issues and the upcoming Summit, as well as bring people together on the issue.
“It’s not just the U.S. signing on to the Kyoto Protocol but also about me turning down the thermostat and taking shorter showers,” said Nate Young, Vice President of PSU’s Net Impact Chapter.
DSW Collective was excited and inspired by the students who showed up to the event. We are glad to see more people getting involved in global climate change issues and are looking forward to many more conversations with Net Impact.
