Over 2,000 faculty and students attended this year putting to rest the idea that sustainability is a passing fad. An even higher attendance rate is expected next Fall in Minneapolis, Minnesota where the best of campus sustainability practices will be in the spotlight along with thought leaders, student advocates, and faculty members.

The three R’s have been enhanced to a more sustainable “Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle.
By now barrels of ink and miles of ones-and-zeroes have been spilled parsing the “political narrative” of October’s 17-day-long shutdown of the federal government. But you can ignore most of what you heard from the capital’s political pundits. Here’s the thing to remember: This was not a classic Washington political “standoff,” “impasse,” “stalemate,” or any of the other euphemisms used to describe how Tea Party radicals tried to hold the country hostage to their hatred of federally subsidized health care.
