About the Event
It only happens once a year, in late August, and it really is a workout. 100 student leaders from all over Puget Sound convene at the UW for a 9-hour sustainable systems “thought experiment.” We forecast what it would be like to achieve 100% sustainability in our own communities by the year 2050. Then we backcast to identify actions we can take today.... 2040, 2030, 2025 to get there. We bring a positive future into focus and move towards it. It is fast, it’s fun, and you get to work with college facilitators, professional coaches, and technical experts in your choice of one six sustainable systems including water, energy, buildings, transportation, food, and zero waste. By the end of the day (its a workout!) we are presenting to family, friends, and invited stakeholders our positive, practical visions for the year 2050.
