Throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, the Center for a Sustainable Future is showcasing local sustainability and innovation leaders to share how and why they are working to transform South Bend and the greater region into an innovative and sustainable place.
The theme of the talks is “Seeing Systems,” which invites speakers to make and share connections between social justice, sustainability, community building, peace building efforts, and more.
On May 7 the topic of “Growing Global Sustainability” will be led by Avanti Lalwani of Briter Products, and IU South Bend Sustainability Fellow.
Small locally owned businesses have an important responsibility in global sustainability efforts. If the hypothesis were accepted that small business can work with nature through small and constant observations and efforts, there would be short, medium and long term impacts. This talk will highlight how Briter Products, Inc. in South Bend, Indiana efforts to amend the soil of the business’s property revealed previously unseen systems.
Join in on First Friday Innovation Conversations each first Friday from noon – 12:30pm EST on the Center’s YouTube channel youtube.com/sustainthefuture
