Are you interested in environmental sustainability issues? Would you like to get some experience writing about these issues? Would you like to meet and talk with other students that share the same interests?
There is an upcoming talk in which you can do all of these!
Below is a email describing a exciting opportunity for those interested in connecting the environment with writing!
“Dear Students,
I am a research scientist in the laboratory of Prof. Anastas (Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University). I am working on an outreach project in conjunction with the US EPA (Region 1) and am looking for potential volunteers to assist in blogging and website design activities to raise awareness of environmental sustainability issues in chemistry and connected fields. There are opportunities for both technical and non-technical writing. For undergraduate students, this could help with American Chemical Society "green chemistry” accreditation for student chapters. I will be on campus May 9th and would be eager to meet with any interested students; I would also be happy to get in touch by e-mail.
Thank you,
Evan Beach, Program Manager
Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University"
He will be on campus May 9th for those who are interested.

This quarter we have another exciting line-up of speakers, both students and faculty (see schedule below). So far we’ve already been treated to one excellent, philosophical talk by PoE Faculty Megan Styles on the use of historical family artifacts as an entry point into understanding environmental history.
This week we move onwards and downwards (into the mud of local estuaries, that is) with a presentation by PoE Capstone Advisor, Sean McDonald, about his own research on the “Conflict between scientists and social scientists in WA geoduck aquaculture.” Don’t miss what will surely be a fascinating talk on the legendary geoduck clam!
PoE Lunch meets every Thursday from 12:00-1:00 in PoE Commons, Wallace Hall. Everyone is welcome to join us. Bring your lunch. Bring a friend. Get academic credit if you want it. Treats provided by PoE. Our website is here: http://poelunch.tumblr.com/
Spring Quarter 2013 Speaker Schedule:
April 4, Megan Styles (PoE faculty), “Understanding environmental history through my family’s history and photos.”
April 11, Sean McDonald (PoE faculty), “Conflict between scientists and social scientists in WA geoduck aquaculture.”
April 18, Kiki Jenkins (SAFS faculty), “The intersection of art and environmental science.”
April 25, LuAnne Thompson (Program on Climate Change), “Global Health, Climate Change, and Kenya.”
May 2, Celese Spencer/Suzy Karl (UW Biology), “Environmental interpretation and why it’s important.”
May 9, Jane Dolliver (COASST), “What is COASST and what are some cool opportunities for you in COASST?”
May 16, Beth Wheat (PoE faculty), “My studies of fresh water shrimp in Costa Rica.”

June 6, An Huynh (ESRM student), “My homestay with a Quechua family in the high Andes of Peru.”
If you would like to speak this quarter or in a future quarter, please email to timbillo@uw.edu. We’re especially hoping to get some undergraduates too—talk about a cool study abroad experience, or an internship, or any topic you’ve been thinking about. You can either show us some slides, or lead a discussion by posing thought-provoking questions, or both! You will get 45-50 minutes on the “stage” but you don’t need to take all of it!

The Environmental Book Club is starting a new book at the beginning of Spring quarter: ‘The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture’ by Wendell Berry, the “cultural and economic critic, and farmer” (wiki). It was written following the infamous declaration of ‘get big or get out’ in US agricultural policy. But to what degree has the decline of Agriculture and the rise of “agri-business” been a corollary of American rural culture’s decline?
Here’s a doodle poll for next quarter so we hit the ground running, check out the book.

The Book Club’s goal is to stimulate additional thought on the environmental ideas available in literature, and to be able to articulate that understanding in environmental studies.
