Limits to Growth in the current debates

Class
We want to share with you two interesting recent sources on the Limits debate. One is a recent (short) article comparing the projections of the LtG model to global trends.

The second is a fascinating recent report from Oxfam that tries to integrate the limits to growth with the need for social justice.

Welcome and important information for our Capstone class

Welcome all to the Capstone seminar in sustainability. Matt and I (your TA) are very much looking forward to seeing you on Monday, April 2, for our first session.

Please take note of two things:
1) We ask you to do the readings in preparation for the first session. You can find the syllabus and readings on the Stellar website.
2) We will arrange for short one-on-one meetings with each of you during the first 2-3 weeks of class to support you in choosing your topic for the assignments. More details to follow.

Enjoy your spring break, and see you on April 2,

Maja
