FISE Sustainable Energy Seminars Towards Sustainability Dr. Juan C. Nino University of Florida Dept. of Materials Science & Engineering Gainesville, FL32611-6400 P.O. Box 116400 January 10, 2007 from 2-3 pm in the Reitz Union Auditorium As a continuation of last year's presentation "Technology, Energy, and Society: Is sustainability just the new buzzword?" In this second part, the focus will be on the current understanding of the impact of human activity on the global environment. The presentation will be based on The Climate Project and the recent (November 2007) report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Shifting from the policy and research opportunities towards sustainability presented last time, this time, the talk will end with a list of local and simple everyday steps that can be done today to achieve sustainability.
