Jennifer Mareschal 10/23/2019 5:52 PMYesterday I attended the Known and Grown Farmers Panel on campus. It was very interesting to hear the farmers' perspectives and one of the farmers I frequently buy from at Lake St Louis farmers market, Nicki Morgan, was a panelist! After the panel, I went to the Carbon Neutral Climate Dialogue. Speakers at the dialogue included Mayor Lyda Krewson, Sustainability Directory Catherine Werner, and four sustainability professionals from the EU; Nina Sankovic, Niko Korpar, Justyna Król, and Grzegorz Gądek. I also saw @Matthew Dunn there!-

Michelle Parsons 9/14/2019 11:30 AMThanks for sharing the link. I watched the video and it gave me another prospective on the chain of events that our technology gives us. I have always said technology is destroying us but this shows the up side to it as well. Thanks again.
