Interchange – Michael Hamburger, Matt Auer – IU Task Force on Campus Sustainability

Play

Host Mylo Roze has a conversation with Michael Hamburger and Matt Auer of the IU Task Force on Campus Sustainability about the fledgling organization’s inception, structure, online assessment report, ongoing developments and their recommendations for University administrators. Issues of efficiency, economics and environmental ethics are applied to IU’s modes of energy production, distribution and consumption, their built environment, land use, transportation and food systems. Aside from the Task Force’s call for an Office of Sustainability at IU, Auer and Hamburger discuss what other universities and institutions have already done toward the aim of “greening” their entities, as well as the interesting possibilities of innovative ideas for improving the IU community and the inevitable challenges involved with changing institutional practices. Also touched upon are the relationship of the University with the local community and regional governing bodies.
