Online conference re sustainability at University of Bradford, UK http://www.brad.ac.uk/ten-plus-one/
This conference will be an unmissable opportunity to hear some of the world's leading closed loop economy thinkers. *TEN* guest lectures around * ONE* key perspective on the transition to a sustainable economy. The focus is skills, jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities in a 'cradle to cradle' or 'closed materials loop economy'** <http://www.brad.ac.uk/ten-plus-one/#note>. This lecture series will be introduced by Professor Michael Braungart, one of the world’s leading designers and industrial consultants. This masterclass event will discuss the implications for business, community and education of moving from a linear, 'take-make-dump' economy to a circular economy where economic systems thinking and design is based on ecological principles. Waste is designed out of the equation and the economy features closed materials loops increasingly powered by renewable energy. Considerations of place, scale, resource and diversity will be at the core of development. *29TH NOVEMBER - 1ST DECEMBER 2010 University of Bradford, UK* -- ------------------------------------------------ Sign the petition to ban hydrofracking in New York State.
