Pitt Holds Second Annual Blue, Gold, & Green Sustainability Festival

Issue Date: 
April 19, 2010
Pitt students held a Sustain-a-Bowl on April 8, featuring booths constructed from salvaged and/or recyclable material—with no Styrofoam, duct tape, or harsh paints allowed. The event in the William Pitt Union’s Kurtzman Room was part of the University’s second annual Blue, Gold, & Green Sustainability Festival and sponsored by the Office of the Provost. Stuart L. Hart (inset), the Samuel C. Johnson Chair in Sustainable Global Enterprise and a professor in Cornell University’s Johnson School of Management, spoke about how businesses can integrate environmental preservation and the alleviation of abject poverty into their business models. Hart’s April 8 lecture in the Union’s Ballroom was supported by the Heinz Endowments and cosponsored by the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation and the Department of Civil Engineering in Pitt’s Swanson School of Engineering.
