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!

132nd New Thing - Played with Talking Tom Cat

I was searching through apps on my Droid Razr and came about Outfit7's Talking Tom Cat . This app is described as a cat that responds to your touch and repeats everything you say in a funny voice. I wanted to see what it was all about so I downloaded the app to my Razr to check it out. You can Talk to Tom and he will repeat everything you say with a funny voice, pet his body or head to make him purr, poke his head, belly or feet, grab his tail, pour a glass of milk for him to drink, and forget about him and he will yawn or sneeze. I find Tom only slightly enjoyable. What did you do today?

158th New Thing - Tried Sweet Potato Popchips

While we were at Albertsons doing our weekly grocery shopping, there was a lady there giving away free sample bags of Popchips so I took a sample of their Sweet Potato flavor. I had my 0.8 ox bag of Sweet Potato Popchips today with my lunch. Popchips were founded in 2007 in San Francisco as a healthy alternative to traditional potato chips. They aren't fried or baked, but popped by taking potatoes and adding a heat and pressure. They have won awards such as 'Best Snack' from Shape Magazine and 'Best Chips' from Health Magazine. My 0.8 oz bag had 100 calories, 3g fat, 95mg sodium, 16g carbohydrates, and 2g sugar. They had a slightly salted and sweet flavor in the airy chip. It was a good snack with my lunch.   What did you do today?
