Sustainability at Lewis & Clark

Events

Each year, Lewis & Clark hosts a number of events on topics related to sustainability.

Two annual highlights include the Environmental Affairs Symposium and the Natural Resources Law Institute Distinguished Visitor Series.

  • The Environmental Affairs Symposium is one of Lewis & Clark’s four annual student-run symposia. Offered by the Environmental Studies Program, each year the event brings together experts from around the country for a dynamic series of lectures and panels on contemporary issues in environmental affairs. 
  • Each year the NRLI Distinguished Visitor Program brings a leader in the field of environmental law to share his or her expertise with the Lewis & Clark Community.

  • Cultivating the Forbidden Fruit: Exploring the Role of Sexuality in Sustainability
    In this presentation and conversation, we will explore the role human sexuality plays in creating lasting, vibrant community and transitioning to a sustainable culture. Sexual energy, like creative energy and spiritual energy, is a true renewable resource that emanates from our very core which we can tap to create a culture and way of life that treats others and the Earth as lovers worthy of respect and appreciation. We’ll discuss topics including sexual healing and exploration, sexual sovereignty, polyamory, our wild nature, freedom and responsibility, emotional currency, the environmental costs of keeping sex taboo, sacred and eco-sexuality. Bring loving hearts and open minds.
