Believe in climate change. Or don't. But you'd better understand this: the best route to rebuilding our economy, our cities, and our job markets, as well as assuring national security, is doing precisely what you would do if you were scared to death about climate change. In Climate Capitalism, L. Hunter Lovins, with sustainability expert Dr. Boyd Cohen, tells the stories of inventors, major corporations, communities, and main street businesses who are cutting their costs, driving innovations, inspiring their employees, and building prosperity by investing in energy efficiency and renewable resources.

2nd Annual Utah International Higher Education Summit
November 9, 2011, 7:30 AM, University of Utah (Olpin Union)
"Internationalization" has become a common theme on campuses across the nation, reflecting growing recognition that the futures of individual countries and the world as a whole are deeply intertwined, and that the creation of globally competent citizen is a key goal of higher education. By bringing internationalization leaders from across the state together, the goal of this year's Summit is to share ideas on effective organization-both internally within individual institutions and externally through cooperation among higher educational institutions, government and business-for expanding and deepening internationalization for the benefit of all. Having played a major role in the University of Minnesota's nationally recognized internationalization efforts, Dr. Gene Allen brings unique and insightful perspectives on these important issues.
