DCCC Summit Focuses on Sustainable Living

The 2013 Dallas County Community College District Sustainability Summit—Doing the Right Things for People, Our Planet and the Economy—is scheduled for March 28, at Mountain View College, in Dallas, with a pre-summit workshop, Ballet in the Pasture, on March 27.The summit features keynote speaker Joel Salatin, a third-generation, full-time farmer from Virginia, whose alternative methods have gained national attention, plus 20 breakout sessions with a lineup of local experts to offer information about healthy living, urban agriculture, resource and energy efficiency, smart cities and green careers and jobs. More than 20 exhibitors will share their green products and services. Salatin will also lead the pre-summit workshop.

Salatin’s presentation combines humor and entertainment to encourage others to think about sustainable living. He provides a virtual tour of his farm, with pictures and commentary about the grass-based, multi-species livestock.
