SUPA Environmental Interest Group: Climate Change Teach-in
Tomorrow, Tuesday, 20 February, hundreds of campuses, cities, and businesses will be participating in the Global Emergency Teach-In on climate change. University Hall room 532 will be set up for the live web-cast, and an auditorium is being set up in the Architecture Building as well (room 204). A pdf flyer is attached.
Climate Change Teach-In — 12-2.30pm, Tuesday, 20 February 2007
For more information, see http://www.2010imperative.org/. But if you want to watch the web-cast, please come to one of the UTA locations (or, for that matter, other locations in the Metroplex; see “Who’s Tuning In” on the web page). In order to avoid overloading the servers, the organizers are asking people to participate in organized sessions rather than logging on individually.
Why?
Because time is running out.
What?
The 2010 Imperative Global Emergency Teach-In addressing global warming and climate change is an interactive web-cast broadcast live from New York, reaching more than 500,000 students, faculty, deans and practicing professionals in the architecture, planning and design communities in both North and South America.
Who?
Dr. James Hansen, NASA GISS
Edward Mazria, AIA, Architecture 2030

How?
All design schools, professional design firms and governmental entities (planning departments, city officials, etc.) are being asked to substitute the Teach-in for classes/work on February 20th, 2007, from Noon to 3:30pm EST. Many schools and offices are planning day-long activities around the event.
