My dearest BESTers,

I encourage you all to come to the Jared Diamond lecture tonight 
at 8pm at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. A financial 
contribution to help bring Dr. Diamond to UF has been made on 
behalf of BESTS, so please come to hear his great talk. Because we 
co-sponsored the event, we are eligible to come to the special 
student session with Dr. Diamond at Ustler Hall from 5-6pm.

Dr. Jared Diamond, Professor of Geography (UCLA) and Pulitzer 
Prize-winning author, will present a lecture related to the 
subject of his latest book, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail 
or Succeed. He will talk about the signs of collapse, and how, if 
we see them in time, we can prevent it. Free tickets for this 
event will be available at the Phillips Center from 12-8pm on 
April 9. Doors open at 7:30pm

Event co-sponsors:
UF Office of Sustainability, Department of Soil and Water Science, 
Dean of Students Office, Water Institute, Honors Program, School 
of Natural Resources and Environment, Bioenergy and Sustainable 
Technology Society and Gators for a Sustainable Campus.

Also, Earth Month Events Calendar is attached. There are many 
great events scheduled, but one of the events that may be of 
special interest to our Society is the Sustainable Products Trade 
Show on April 21.


-Thank you!
