An evening of inspiration from women environmental leaders talking about how the women pioneers in Houston’s environmental history shaped their careers.  Event will include a panel discussion and networking opportunity.

This program is part of the Tales of Houston Women collaboration, a two-month retrospective and celebration by several of our community’s organizations displaying the many ways Houston’s women have, are, and will put their mark on history. We are celebrating through art, lectures, science, movies, dance, and more. Learn more at www.talesofhoustonwomen.org.

Held on the “2nd Saturdays” of each month, they will enjoy a delicious vegan potluck and meeting, along with a discussion, film screening, food demo or speaker presentation on intersectional issues of veganism, animal rights, environmentalism, nonviolence, health and more. Each month will be something new! Their new venue is at the HCC Conference Center.

They are asking for a donation of $5 per person to help cover our facility rental expenses. All attendees must bring a vegan entree to share at the potluck (serving size to feed 10 people)!

Please remember to bring a vegan dish to share with the group! Their events are always vegan, so please only vegan or raw vegan foods (no animal-derived ingredients). Also bring reusable dinnerware and plates to keep the event earth-friendly. If you have questions on ingredients, feel free to contact them.

They will also feature a new discussion topic on inter sectional issues each month, such as: animal rights, ethical vegan living, vegan health & nutrition, cooking, world hunger solutions, eco-friendly living, nonviolence and more! Some months will also include film screenings and/or guest speakers and food demos.

University of Houston’s Energy program invites you to attend the second event in the 2018-2019 Energy Symposium Series, Critical Issues in Energy, “Carbon Management: Panacea or Hype?”.

Anthropogenic emissions have already contributed to a 1áµ’ C rise in global temperatures since pre-industrial times. It has been suggested that aggressively and decisively reducing emissions now could still limit warming to below 2áµ’ C, or even 1.5ᵒ C. The difference between these two scenarios is stark and could prove to be disastrous for certain ecosystems and populations. But merely limiting emissions will not be sufficient to meet these climate targets. We will also need mechanisms to capture and remove what we’ve already emitted to achieve a net-zero. Can CCS strategies and negative emissions technologies (NET) overcome the challenges of radical economic and technological inputs, the absence of regulatory and governmental support, and major land and environmental impact concerns to make the future of carbon management plausible?

This will be an intriguing discussion featuring a panel of experts with varying opinions on the future of carbon management. UH Energy hopes you will attend.

After a challenging stretch of floods during Memorial Day in 2015 and Tax Day in 2016, Hurricane Harvey dropped record amounts of rain on Greater Houston in 2017 and cost the city billions of dollars in damage. Houstonians were left to wonder if flooding would become the new norm and how to plan for the future. Join Asia Society Texas Center and various speakers for a conversation on the way forward for Houston as a city, and the urban planning, development, and transportation solutions to a sustainable future.

What does coffee have to do with green building? Where do we make most of our coffee? Where do we drink most of our coffee? In buildings. Coffee is a $100 Billion industry. 64% of Americans had at least a cup yesterday.

Greenway Coffee’s David Buehrer will talk about coffee from the supply side. He’s been on the ground where it is grown. He’ll have some samples for you. He knows coffee. Public Citizen’s Stephanie Thomas will talk about the climate and its impact on coffee and chocolate. GBRC Program Director, Steve Stelzer, will hand out his coffee awareness flyer he developed, and talk about how coffee grounds need to get to the soil instead of the landfill.

This event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to Steve, whose contact information can be found above.
