I was really pleased by what we learned on Monday.  Thanks go out to Brenda!

So to get started, a reminder.  By class tomorrow, each of you must (a) have an entry for your topic on our wiki (most of you have already done this); (b) write something in the entry about your topic that the rest of us don’t know and (c) properly reference what you have written with a footnote, following the approach that Brenda showed us on Monday.  And please use the comments section here to share tips on how to do this! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Here are the times to meet tomorrow and on Monday.  In these meetings, we will (a) talk about how your semester is going and (b) review your recent writing assignment.  Please sign up for a meeting time – first come, first serve – using the comments section.

This week, we are honored to welcome two of the most remarkable and influential leaders of the climate movement: founder of 1Sky (and Middlebury parent) Betsy Taylor and Middlebury’s own Bill McKibben.  Please use this blog post over the week to discuss (a) what you learned from their conversations with us, and (b) how their current work is sparking your own new ideas for finding global warming solutions.
