Institute for Sustainable Development
Fall 1998 Speaker Series at C.W. Post
The following free lectures are sponsored by Long Island University's
Institute for Sustainable Development. A joint endeavor of Long Island
University's Southampton College and C.W. Post Campus, the Institute asks
community leaders and elected politicians to rethink the way Long Island
is being developed. It champions the concept of "sustainability,"
which promotes the preservation of a natural resource base that supports
human, plant and animal life. Contact Erin Gertz, project coordinator,
