 Energy Justice discussion series Wed., Feb. 15, 12-1pm UMC Room 381 CU ASE is hosting free films and biweekly discussions addressing Environmental Justice. Bring a brown bag lunch, an open mind and your own perspective! Discussions use a film clip, interview, article or radio series as a platform for the issue, and bring in background information about how the issue relates to current local, regional, national and global events. Discussions are informal. No previous knowledge or experience in Environmental Justice necessary. What is Energy Justice? The United Nations recently acknowledged that energy access is essential to sustainable development by declaring 2012 the Year of Sustainable Energy for All, yet still nearly one-third of the world’s population has little or no access to modern energy for heating, cooking, illumination or mechanical power. Additionally, the exploitation and use of unrenewable energy sources has the greatest negative impact on the most marginalized populations. Join the CU Assembly for Sustainability and Equity to learn about issues facing the world’s energy poor and the importance of transitioning to just energy sources. The full calendar of Environmental Justice events can be found on the CU Assembly for Sustainability and Equity's website, ecenter.colorado.edu/environmental-justice or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
