hi jan this is forrest's bio from http://www.mnd.gov.sg/urbansustainability/speakers.html - he is based in singapore. http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/#/events/dr-forrest-meggers-lowex-buildings-how-architecture-can-be.html is a presentation he just did in the us.
i am away from end of the week but you can get in touch with him Forrest Meggers <meg...@arch.ethz.ch >.

Hi! I talked to a friend, Dorjee Sun, CEO of Carbon Conservation, and he would also be able to do a talk in January. His company is launching a campaign related to consumption too, and they work with different organisations and govt. I think it would be interesting too.

And I dont see why it wouldnt be ok to the NUS Sustainability Office.

We can have two talks with those speakers anyway. What do you think? Which one should we arrange first?

Hi Jan and all,

Wow, he looks great!  Yes, let's ask him and secure the date and time. 

Maybe we have a small panel (3 experts) with Forrest, Dorjee, and a professor? Or I can pursue a few leads that I have and get back to you on the potential candidates. 

Lucy - I will email Aida to secure a room - what size are we thinking?  

Anna - Can you help us prepare an advertisement for this once we have finished the session content?  Office of Sustainability will help us advertise and vice versa.  

Great work, let's keep the ideas coming!

I like the panel idea, Lucy! Can I officially invite Dorjee, so we can secure date/time? I would ask him to talk about their consumption campaign and how we could apply the idea to public policy in general. What do you think?

I need to send him an email by the end of this week.

Also, will we have refreshments after the talk? Let me know what you think, we would have to plan it with the catering.

Ya, let me email Aida so we can secure a room.  Jan 17, 12:30?  Which room?

One of the 3rd floor (where we had public policy classes).

12:30 is perfect!
