Solve Climate by 2030 | NEVADA
Student Sustainability Council
University of Nevada in Las Vegas
Student Sustainability Council was originally founded in 2016 and has grown to be an innovative organization with the sole purpose for sustainable solutions for our campus, city and region. Through workshops, guest speakers, research and campus events we have thrived in pursuit to learn and practice sustainability in our community.
Land Acknowledgement:
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the NUWUVI, Southern Paiute People. We acknowledge the Indigenous People of the lands where UNLV now stands – and recognize that these have always been places of teaching and learning. We wish to pay respect to their Elders – past, present and emerging – and acknowledge the important role NUWUVI, Southern Paiute People, continue to play within the UNLV community. This acknowledgement and the centering of Native peoples is a start as we move forward for many years to come.
Dr. Eban Goodstein Video (6 min)
Dr. Goodstein is Director of the Center for Environmental Policy and the MBA in Sustainability at Bard. In recent years, Goodstein has coordinated a series of national educational initiatives on climate change involving over 2500 colleges, universities, high schools and community organizations. He with Dr. David Blockstein, Senior Advisor from the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences are the national coordinators of this unique event.
First Guest Speaker: Dr. George Rhee (15 min)
Dr. George Rhee is Associate Director NASA Spacegrant Nevada and Physics and Astronomy Professor at UNLV. He uses observations of spiral galaxies to measure the distribution of dark matter and compare it to the prediction of galaxy formation theories. He is also interested in renewable energy and teach a class 'Physics for a Better Environment' on these issues. He is member of the Netherlands Astronomical Society, Royal Astronomical Society and the American Astronomical Society. He got his Astronomy Ph.D. degree in Leiden University, The Netherlands.
Second Guest Speaker: Ian Zabarte (25 min)
Principal Man Ian Zabarte is a descendant of Chief Kawich, Chief of all the central Great Basin Western Shoshone. He has worked for over 30 years on nuclear issues to protect his people and land. Western Shoshone with the Global Anti-Nuclear Alliance pressured the test ban moratorium in the early 1990s and began investigating impacts from over 1,024 weapons of mass destruction tested on Shoshone land and people. Working collaboratively, he created the Nuclear Risk Management for Native Communities and the Native Community Action Council, “a party with standing” in the Atomic Safety Licensing Board Panel of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He is also a board member of Pooha-Bah Traditional Native American Healing Center, and a former board member of Citizen Alert and, former board member of the Nevada Desert Experience.
Third Guest Speaker: Jonathan Royce Esteban (9.5 min)
Jonathan Royce Esteban is a Valley Viking, a former employee of the Clark County School District, and a Workplace Coordinator at Tesla’s corporate center in Las Vegas. Like so many young people, he has jumped into so many opportunities in our accelerated, competitive economy. He’s worked with union teams for some of the largest trade shows and conventions. He’s heard so many concerns from teachers during his time at the school district. He’s met so many people throughout North Las Vegas and central Nevada. He dives in to new environments to get the work done for one of the most exciting technology firms in the clean energy business. At this moment, Jonathan is the youngest candidate running for Congress 2020.
The three solutions for our state are:
1) 1. Potential renewable energies (geothermal, solar and wind) have to be allocated inside the city, and control the extended urbanization over existing life that has being here for thousands of years.
2. Nuclear is not a solution, neither in small-scale reactors. It can be a constant treat for our communities. We would continue promoting awareness and preventing the use of this energy and advocate for renewable energies.
3. To convert our transportation system towards an electric car-sharing mass service and diminish ten times the existing vehicles in our cities.
