The university's panel discussion and recycling event on Tuesday will address sustainability concerns and explain how you can help.
Dr. Lisa Morano joined ABC13 to discuss the importance of the University of Houston Downtown panel discussion and recycling event ahead. The panel discussion , scheduled for Tuesday in Fondren Commons of the College of Sciences and Technology Building, will focus on the environment and green living.
As part of the event, UHD Recycling Ambassadors will recycle the lunch waste for a zero-waste event. These are students committed to environmental awareness and advocacy. Dr. Lisa Morano, a professor of biology and microbiology and director of the Center for Urban Agriculture and Sustainability, spearheaded this event, which is presented in collaboration with the UHD Sustainability Council.More than 100,000 lbs. of e-waste collected at ABC13 E-Cycle Drive "The idea of sustainability is that we create a system in which all of these things can work together. We have an environment that's healthy, an economic system that's healthy, and we have people that are healthy who are in it," Morano said. "You want to create a system where future generations have the same opportunities and the same health of their planet as we have today." For Tuesday's discussion, Morano will moderate the panel of sustainability experts - Ana Bueno, an environmental reporter at Univision 45; Jaime González, the community and equitable conservation programs director at The Nature Conservancy in Texas; Naomi Kuo, an artist-in-residence at the Asia Society Texas Center, and Steve Stelzer, the program director at Green Building Resource Center's Houston Permitting Center. These experts will address global concerns about sustainability on a local level, provide regional solutions, and explain how the community can take action.Early voting: You can cast your ballot now for upcoming May 4 election
