BRUNSWICK — “Voluntary environmentalists? Are green clubs a win for businesses and the environment?” is the title of a forum taking place at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 6 in Lancaster Lounge, Moulton Union, on the Bowdoin College campus.
Many companies around the world are participating in voluntary programs that require them to do good things for the environment, even beyond the requirements of government regulations.
Matthew Potoski, a professor at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California at Santa Barbara, will address the issue.
The program is sponsored by the Bowdoin College government department, the environmental studies program and the McKeen Center for the Common Good.
