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?

Eating My Way Thru NOLA - Day 3

NOLA  - October 2018 PJ's Coffee  (5432 Magazine St, New Orleans LA 70115) - Goal was The King Cake Protein Velvet Ice but apparently that was only seasonal around Mardi Gras.

Parran’s Po-Boys & Restaurant (3939 Veterans Blvd, Metairie LA 70002) - Seafood Trifecta (1/3 fried shrimp sandwich, 1/3 fried oyster sandwich, 1/3 fried catfish sandwich *best*) dressed (mayo, lettuce, tomato).

144th New Thing - Ate a LQ Belgian Waffle

We stayed at the La Quinta Inn & Suites  the past 2 nights since my brother and sister-in-law were visiting Colorado to ski. LQ's serve free Bright Side Breakfast daily as an amenity to all guests. The Bright Side Breakfast includes: waffles, hot and cold cereal, bread/bagels/muffins/pastries, hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit, and all-you-can-drink coffee/juice/milk. This morning, I made-my-own LQ Belgian Waffle. They make the batter and you make the waffle on their iron. It cooked evenly and turned out fluffy and tender. I wonder what mix they use for the batter (my 1st internet search suggested that they buy their waffle mix from Sysco , my 2nd internet image search found out it is Carbon's Golden Malted Original Pancake & Waffle Flour). I ate 1/2 of my waffle with syrup and fruit and the other half with PB&J. It was a good breakfast to have before skiing, again! What did you do today?
