Ignatian Pedagogy for Sustainability Online Fall workshop. Community-Engaged Learning: Carbon Footprints for Business

Thursday, Sept. 29 7-8:30 a.m.
Join via Zoom. Password: 189949

Dr. Phillip Thompson, professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the Center for Environmental Justice and Sustainability (CEJS), will share the work by a team of graduate students from the Albers School of Business and Economics who developed a Climate Impact Guide (CIG) to help small businesses determine their baseline carbon footprint. The presentation will also discuss how a second team of students worked with Pagliacci Pizza to use the CIG and develop recommendations for reducing the company’s carbon footprint.

Workshop participants will be asked to consider how their campuses might adopt the CIG process and have their students work with local, small businesses to reduce their climate impacts. This workshop is organized by the Ignatian Pedagogy for Sustainability initiative.
