SASI

June 21 to 25, 2010
Lowell, Massachusetts
The Lowell Center has held its first Sustainability Action Summer Institute: Beyond Green. This was an opportunity to learn about concepts, tools, and skills that can lead us to the kind of world we want — a world in which we can meet our material needs globally without endangering the environment, human health, or the well-being of all people.

The Summer Institute is designed for environment, health, and sustainability advocates in government, non-government organizations, corporations, private foundations, labor unions, health care institutions, and universities.
