Christine is a licensed massage therapist and a registered somatic movement therapist.

From Crises to Solutions: Drinking Water in the 21st Century

Citizen Science keynote lecture by David Sedlak, author of Water 4.0: The Past, Present, and Future of the World's Most Vital Resource

Sunday, January 12, 2020
7:30–9:30 pm

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater
As a result of population growth, climate change, and pollution, the world’s drinking water supplies are under considerable stress. Over the past four decades, engineers and scientists working in water-stressed cities have created an array of new technologies that make it possible to purify water that would otherwise be unsafe to drink. However, the high cost and inflexibility of these systems currently prevents their use in all but the wealthiest cities. To expand access of these technologies to overcome the drinking water crises facing humanity, creative new policies and additional technological improvements will be needed. This talk will provide insight into the challenge of providing safe, affordable, and reliable drinking water in the coming decades. Sponsored by: Citizen Science Program.

Behind the Creative Curtain: How Etsy Is Leading E-Commerce on Climate Change

In collaboration with LMHQ and Etsy

Thursday, January 30, 2020
6–8 pm

LMHQ, 150 Broadway, NY, NY Floor 20

In 2019, Etsy became the first major online shopping destination to offset 100% of carbon emissions from shipping. Now, every time an item is purchased on Etsy, the company balances out the carbon emissions by creating positive environmental impact. When Etsy moved to reduce their carbon footprint, they discovered that 98% of their emissions come from shipping—a process that they do not control. Despite this challenge, Etsy developed a low-cost strategy to offset the emissions from every item shipped through its platform—a true revolution in the e-commerce industry.

Join LMHQ and Bard MBA in Sustainability to hear from the Etsy team on how they arrived at this climate solution and then executed on this endeavor.

Speakers include:
Chelsea Mozen, Director of Sustainability, Etsy
Lindsay Vellines, Integrated Marketing Manager, Etsy

This event is presented in collaboration with the Bard MBA in Sustainability Program. The Bard MBA in Sustainability is a hybrid MBA program that fully embeds sustainability into a core business curriculum. It meets once monthly over a four-day weekend at LMHQ with online classes in between. Information at bard.edu/mba.

Doors open at 6:00 pm; program begins at 6:30. Refreshments will be served.

Her story “Undocumented Alien” in Conjunctions:67, Other Aliens received a Pushcart Prize. She is the 2019 recipient of the Jerusalem Prize and is currently Distinguished Writer in the Graduate Writing Program at New York University. Her novel Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars. is forthcoming from Ecco in June.

Quincy Troupe is the author of 20 books, including 10 volumes of poetry. He is coauthor, with Miles Davis, of Miles: The Autobiography, which won the American Book Award, and author of the memoir Miles and Me (Seven Stories), which is scheduled for release as a major motion picture for which Mr. Troupe wrote the screenplay. Also forthcoming from Seven Stories are Duende: Poems from 1966 Until Now and a memoir, The Accordion Years.

Rob Nixon is the Currie C. and Thomas A. Barron Family Professor in Humanities and the Environment at Princeton University. His books include London Calling: V. S. Naipaul, Postcolonial Mandarin (Oxford); Dreambirds: The Natural History of a Fantasy (Picador); and, most recently, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor (Harvard), which won an American Book Award.
