Environmental Horizons Sustainability Summit Agenda for April 23-24, 2008

In what ways can the University of Illinois rise to the challenge of reducing our impact on earth and sky? Over two days in april, at the Sustainability Summit, we'll come together to discuss this question. We'll focus our four top areas: Energy; Climate; Land, Water & Biodiversity; and Product Life Cycle and Sustainability.

For each topic, we'll devote an hour to the following questions:
1. What are the challenges?
2. What are the potential solutions?
3. What are the UIUC-specific areas of strength?
4. What are the steps forward?
