SUMMARY:Sustainability Weekend 2016
DESCRIPTION:CMU Sustainable Earth is proud to present Sustainability Weekend 2016\, Carnegie Mellon’s inaugural sustainability-focused conference\, taking place on campus from March 31 to April 3. The vast majority of programming will be on Saturday\, April 2. \nEnvironmentalism often gets a bad rap. While some stereotypes are based off of fact (others less so)\, in 2016 we want to be thinking about environmentalism in the larger context of sustainability. In organizing Sustainability Weekend\, the goal is to pique your interest and show you this larger context. Sustainability is holistic: it is political\, personal\, economic and social. It can dialogue with everything from urban planning to the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Come learn\, network and have fun! \nDoors open at 9:00am.

SUMMARY:TEDxPittsburgh
DESCRIPTION:IDEAS THAT BRIDGE THE REGION\nTEDxPittsburgh is Pittsburgh’s platform for showcasing the ideas\, individuals and innovations that are redefining the Steel City. \nOur city is best known for the steel forged on the banks of its three rivers.
