If we see the vegetarian issue beyond simply our personal health and well-being to its direct impact on the destiny of our planet, then I think it's good for us to give a little service to the veggie cause.

To Boldly Go: Charting Our Common Future

Feb 1 2010 - 8:00am
Feb 5 2010 - 8:00pm

University of Alberta International Week 2010
 

Decades after the World Commission on Environment and Development called for a development path that "sustained human progress not just in a few pieces for a few years, but for the entire planet into the distant future,"  the global community struggles to envision and protect a shared future.

This year’s theme conveys the need for brave and collaborative solutions in the face of global challenges, inviting discussion on innovation as well as on the reflection necessary to "boldly go" responsibly forward. We hope that programming will balance out the sometimes grim lessons learnt (or not yet learnt), with exciting developments in technology, opportunities for action and prospects and alternatives for the future.
