Sustainability

Tuesday November 18, 2008

Presented by: Glen Lewis

Glen Lewis is the Energy & Supply Chain Management Advisor for California Institute of Food & Agricultural Research (CIFAR) Department of Food Science & Technology, College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences. Glen will be speaking to us on the topic of Sustainability this month. This is a topic that touches each of us, professionally and personally as we work toward greater efficiency in our lives. Glen has traveled extensively, both in the United States and abroad, speaking on this topic and helping organizations and companies increase their efficiency through their sustainability efforts. In our businesses, sustainability includes an emphasis on reduced energy, reduced waste and recycling of materials. Sustainability can provide tremendous benefits in our personal lives as well, helping us reduce energy usage and trash output to save money and increase the efficiency in our homes. Glen will explore this important topic with us at this month's PDM dinner meeting.
