PCC, Sustain Me‪!‬ Joe Culhane

So much goodness in here. Jacob Lebel, one of the 21 youth plaintiffs on the Juliana V U.S “Climate Trial of the Century” came and gave over 100 student leaders a great keynote presentation during our 3rd annual #EcoSocialJustice Event. We talked about a great many things and about the injunction case that is right around the corner, as in tomorrow! Right here in Portland, Oregon there will be a huge rally and Our Children’s Trust will be representing. You should come. I’ll see you there!

This was such a great conversation I had after a highly impactful two full days of training with Jamie Washington Ph.D., of Washington Consulting Group and Kathy Obear, Ed.D., from The Center for Transformation & Change. The training was called Creating Inclusive, Socially Just Campus Environments and I certainly was able to learn a lot over the course of the two days. You can learn more about both of their work by going to either www.washingtonconsultinggroup.net or www.drkathyobear.com

This was a fantastic conversation I had the good fortune to have with Kevin Wilhelm, CEO of Sustainable Business Consulting, author, public speaker, and so much more. We sat down near the conclusion of the Washington Oregon Higher Education Conference that was held this year at the University of Washington in Seattle.

The conversation went many places and if you’d like to find out where it went, you’re gonna have to go ahead and give it a listen.

As always, thanks for tuning in, folks!

What a fantastic conversation this was with Kiran Oommen. Not only that but this episode also happens to have a podcast debut of a fresh track from one of the bands Kiran is in called Geophagia. The track is called Werewolf. It’s sprinkled in the episode and if you stick around to the very end you’ll get to hear it in it’s entirety!

The conversation we had was at WOHESC 2019 at Washington University in Seattle, Washington. Kiran Oommen is one of the 21 plaintiff’s in the Julianna v US climate trial and part of the Youth V Gov and Our Children’s Trust.

Thanks for tuning in, folks!

Check it out! The 2019 GPSEN Sustainability Symposium is right around the corner, March 8th 2019. Hear more about the event and a bit of the story line of how GPSEN came to be. Oh, and while you’re at it, you’ll get a bit more of an intimate idea of how awesome the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal’s are, too!

I had such a great conversation with Venus Barnes, a member of the PCC community as the Learning Garden Coordinator at the Sylvania Campus and she is also a former student here as well. Venus started a Food Justice Cohort that I was really excited to share about and she also did an excellent job of addressing and looking at many of the intersections of the social just and sustainability movement.
