The snow has finally melted in Minnesota (though another round of flurries falls as I post this). Nothing signifies spring in the sustainability world quite like the season’s first Tour de Fat. In Atlanta’s Piedmont Park, New Belgium’s annual celebration of bicycles returns after its winter hiatus. Today and tomorrow an exciting event is taking [...]

No Comments » April 4th, 2013 Eric Wilson Nothing conjures up the ideal life quite like Hawaii, which has the highest ranking in the most recent well-being index. Despite the erroneous name of the event (see below and let us know if you figure out what’s wrong with the name), Hawaii is hosting a sustainability in higher education summit this month. 2nd Green [...]

Many of the cuts have been to military expenditures, but renewable energy offers a way forward for reduced utility costs for the Department of Defense. This month, the 8th annual military energy alternatives conference in Washington DC may lay the [...]

Now comes the shortest month of the year, but a busy one nonetheless. There are a few solar energy events in South Africa, a trio of environmentally related ones in our nation’s capital, Washington D.C, a couple of [...]

A few years ago my dad bought my sister and me a copy of Randy Pausch’s The Last Lecture. A heart-warming, yet sad look at a professor dying before his time, the book represents Pausch’s final lecture and reflects on his fight with cancer. Although Professor David Suzuki is not dying, his last lecture falls into the [...]
December 1st, 2012 Eric Wilson Another holiday season (in the United States at least) and another slow month for events. I’ve culled a handful of conferences, workshops, a speech by David Suzuki (check back later this month for a review of his book “The Legacy”) and even a few solar installation trainings for this month, but there are definitely fewer [...]
November 1st, 2012 Eric Wilson This month I’ve chosen a smattering of events that are related to the staff here at 2nd Green Revolution. Most are connected to where I’ve lived (plus the annual USGBC national conference, GreenBuild), but there is also a summit in Charlottesville, where frequent contributor Stephen Wade obtained his masters degree. Having lived in Salzburg, Austria, [...]

This change has led to more events that are local in nature, as opposed to mega-international conferences. We still have numerous large events listed, especially those that are [...]
