341st New Thing - Signed Up for a Sustainability Class


As an alumni of DU, I receive email communications about events, activities, and education opportunities. I received an email a while back about a sustainability class being offered in the fall. The email was from Natural Capitalism Solutions about a Sustainability Leadership and Implementation Certificate Course offered for 6 total days between 9/28/12-12/15/12 for $3,500. It is the leading sustainability certificate program that will help students gain the knowledge and skills needed to implement an effective and profit-enhancing sustainability program in their organization. Through this course, participants will gain a deep understanding of sustainability frameworks, while also learning the practical leadership and implementation skills needed to put an effective sustainability program in place. As a final deliverable, participants will develop and present a set of strategic sustainability initiatives for their organization, in addition to initial goals and implementation strategies. Upon program completion, participants will receive a Certificate in Sustainability Leadership and Implementation. To make sure your company’s success is publicly recognized, CORE will interview the company representative 6 months after completing the program and will feature your success story on their website. In addition to learning from the dynamic facilitators Hunter Lovins and Scott McLagan, you will also build strong relationships with some of the leading sustainable companies in Colorado—past attendees include Chipotle, White Wave, DaVita, Boulder Community Hospital, Eco-Products, Snooze, Hunter Douglas, and more.

Program Participants Receive:
  • Access to some of the world’s best resources in graduate level business education and leadership development
  • Practical leadership and implementation skills needed to put an effective sustainability program in place
  • Increased visibility into areas of personal strength and insight into potential areas for growth as a leader
  • In-depth understanding of sustainability frameworks

Class starts on Friday, so I'll tell you how it went!

111th New Thing - Took a Zyrtec

If you recall, I went to the dermatologist to get a skin screening for the 1st time back in December. When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body.

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
