Campus of Warren Wilson College

Luncheon Speaker:  11:30 to 1

Green Walkabouts will be offered directly after each presentation from 1 to 3.

Mountain Green is a program that embodies both informational luncheons and an annual conference.  The Green Walkabout© is an informative and inspiring walking tour of Warren Wilson College’s sustainability initiatives that have earned the College recognition as a national sustainability leader.   Participants of both will experience principles and best practices of green building, energy use, waste management, native landscaping, sustainable agriculture and forestry, and more.  The Green Walkabout© seeks to emulate the wonder of the Australian Aboriginal traditional practice in which cultural narratives are recited while walking through the landscape by providing participants with a sustainability narrative rooted in the WWC landscape, but connected to the greater American cultural narratives of industrialization, capitalism, democracy, ingenuity, equity, responsibility, justice, and freedom.
