The Community Sustainability Commission in partnership with Dominican University of California is
ready to launch the third series of Education and Public Outreach events titled: Sustainable Benicia: Energy. This series consists of four symposia with expert panelists prepared to inform us about a wide variety of areas related to energy.
As the largest emissions of Greenhouse Gases in Benicia stem from energy production and use, and our
biggest potential financial costs or savings relate to energy, the series begins with setting a baseline of the major energy sources: Non Renewables (fossil fuels), Renewables, and Nuclear. From there the symposia drills down more deeply into Renewables, Energy Efficiencies and finally, policy and financing.
The symposia will be held the first Thursdays of February, March, April and May from 6 – 8:30PM at City Hall. Please come and engage with us on this critical topic for our city. [click to continue…]

Excerpt from the article:
In San Rafael, Dominican University of California has been offering an M.B.A. in Sustainable Enterprise for ten years. Dean Dan Moshavi said the university’s School of Business and Leadership program is designed to “help students combine their own social value sets with what’s going on in the world … to align their career goals more closely with their personal views.”
“People are using good business acumen to transform, meet and exceed social needs,” Moshavi said.
Rachel Stauffer, a 2009 almunus of the Green MBA program at Dominican University, who is designing a retreat and farm in Occidental, called Tree of Life Farm, described Ecological Economics, as the most valuable class she took during her M.B.A.
“It incorporated how to use recycled and reused materials to make products in major industries. It taught you to think about the lifecycle of what you were doing and design it appropriately,” said Stauffer.
Join us for the GreenMBA Business Fall 2011 Plan Presentations on Saturday, December 3rd at Dominican University of California.
As the culminating event in the GreenMBA program, the Business Plan Presentations capture two years of student learning about sustainability in organizations, multiple business disciplines, and effective presentations. They are diverse, inspiring and entertaining. [click to continue…]
