sustainability

One thing I think we can all take away from this primary election is the pivotal role that PACs play in the selection of our leaders. Whether you consider them a conduit for corporate manipulation or an essential tool for collective bargaining, they represent a powerful element of our system, and simply cannot be dismissed or ignored.

In a recent discussion, captsfufp made some observations:

I understand that we are on the cusp of a very important Primary election, and there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to promote our favorite candidates and fire digital arrows at those who dare to oppose them. But I've had an issue hovering just inside my awareness for some time now, that's been yammering for me to write about it, so please bear with me.

I'm trying really hard not to be skeptical with this, and really trying to give the two blues the benefit of the doubt and hope that they're not just having this conference because they heard the word 'Sustainability' and decided they had to have a conference, so here goes:

UNC & Duke are having a conference on how universities can impact sustainability. I'll probably go, as there are some interesting looking speakers and I can legitimately say it's for my work, and it's near my office, but if it wasn't and it wasn't, I probably wouldn't.
