General Sustainability Announcements

Responsible Endowments Coalition (REC) and Amnesty International are co-hosting a conference about responsible investing November 17-18 at UCLA. REC works to ensure university endowments are invested in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. All UC students are welcome to this conference which will provide the tools to jumpstart a UC-wide movement for comprehensive, responsible investing policies as well as learn about responsible investing. The University of California places social good as a high priority but often contradicts this goal by disregarding human and environmental standards. The conference will address environmental and sustainability issues.

The organizers are looking for UC Berkeley representation at the conference in both attendance and participation. They need help with publicity and are looking for student organizers who can help facilitate workshops.
