Working Group Topics

Learning/Action groups are planned with a variety of different emphases within the area of sustainability and energy issues. The topics given below received the highest levels of interest in the initial survey. While they have substantial overlap, this range is intended to allow participants to meet with other UW community members with similar interests. Depending on enrollment and scheduling constraints, there may be more than one group in particular areas. In addition, small special-interest groups may spin off from many of these as participant interest dictates.

Use the following links to see more detailed descriptions and listings of suggested resource books. "Sustainability 101" is planned as an introductory, 4-session topic that would prepare participants to join one of the more specialized groups. Group meeting notes and forum discussion pages will be maintained to enhance communication within and between groups.
