THIS WEEK IN SUSTAINABILITY: May 15th - 21st, 2023

THIS WEEKEND: BREWHAHA!!!

We hear there's a pretty big weekend coming up on campus...Brewhaha, of course! Come on out to the Organic Farm on Green Key Saturday for delicious local foods including Griddle & Groovy and Ana's Empanadas and for LIVE performances from Minx and Frank (of main stage Green Key fame!).
IMPORTANT LOGISTICS: there will be NO parking at the Farm. Buses will be constantly running from the front of Rauner to the Farm throughout the event. Please BYO mug to drink local root beer, kombucha, iced coffee, and more! Also feel free to bring frisbees, hacky sacks, or other lawn/Green games.

Join a rotating cast of Sustainability staff members in Robo for some delicious home-baked goods and riveting conversation. Been mulling over an exciting idea for sustainability on campus you'd like to run by us? Just want to hang out in between classes? All are welcome, whether you're a sustainability stalwart or new to the susty community.

In this talk, Azucena Castro will address how those imaginaries are formed and sustained by hegemonic discourses but also challenged by local forms of art and activism (artivisms) that demand energy justice in the context of the energy transition.
While wind and water energy have been portrayed as the solution to the climate crisis, there are many conflicts arising in regard to Eolic parks and hydroelectric dams all over Latin America. Castro will draw insights from two case studies on renewable energy forms in Latin America: La Guajira in Colombia, designated as “the epicenter of Colombia’s energy transition” for Eolic Energy, and the Argentinian Patagonia, viewed as “Patagonia-energy” for the installation hydroelectric plants.

It's a big week for the O-Farm! Help get the O-Farm ready for Brewhaha and enjoy the sunshine. Leaving at 8am, back before 10As!
Sign up on Trailhead.

Dartmouth’s Social Justice Awards were established to recognize members of the Dartmouth community including alumni/ae, current and former faculty, staff, student groups and others with ties to the college, who have contributed significantly to peace, civil rights, education, public health, environmental justice, or social justice.
The keynote speaker at the May 18 event will be physician and thought leader Dr. Uché Blackstock, the founding CEO of New York-based Advancing Health Equity, which works to dismantle racism in health care and close the gap in racial inequities in health care organizations.
Registration for this event is required.

Passionate about climate justice? Join Sunrise Dartmouth to learn how to get involved in the fight for environmental and social justice here on campus and nationally. Learn more about Sunrise Dartmouth here.

Moving out? Have any spare clothes in good condition? You can donate your clothes at the bins we're putting up in on-campus residence halls! We just ask that they're washed and in good condition, or else they aren't very much use.
If you donate your clothes, we'll be able to give them back to other Dartmouth students through future on-campus thrift store efforts or bring them to Upper Valley nonprofits.
Find more information here.
