This Summit will feature leaders in the food recovery community in Colorado who will share what it means to be socially sustainable and how to make a positive impact in your community. According to Hunger Free Colorado, 1 in 11 Coloradans struggle with hunger; therefore, it is more important than ever to work together to ensure food recovery in our community.

Green Building Ordinance Panel: 4/25 | 2:00 PM | Auraria Campus - Tivoli Room 320
|
|
The Geography club is curious about sustainable planning efforts in our local community, so we decided to investigate one of Denver’s most recent ordinances- the green building ordinance (formerly known as the green roof initiative). We have put together a panel of professionals who were a part of the Mayor-assigned task force to craft this legislation to benefit all the stakeholders involved. This event will help to answer some of our questions regarding the deliberation process and how effective this legislation will be in reducing the city’s environmental impact. Come join the discussion and get your questions answered, too. This event is open to all, and will held on the 25
th
of April at 2:00 PM in the Tivoli- Room 320. Food and Beverages will be provided. Visit
MSU's Geography Club Facebook pag
e for more info coming soon!
