Interested in attending?<\/h2>

Have an idea for a future supper topic or want to sponsor a dinner? What knowledge can you share?<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Get involved<\/div><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n

Supper guests with diverse perspectives on a particular aspect of sustainability share a meal of local, sustainably-sourced food. The Sustainability Suppers series is the creation of Mary Parlange, and suppers are hosted by URI President Marc B. Parlange and Mary Parlange in their campus home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In framing supper discussions, URI seeks to understand and develop practices we might employ to sustain all life on the planet. Sustainability is examined through the lenses of academic disciplines, environmental stewardship, and commerce. Supper guests consider sustainability as it relates to science communication, finance and investing, culture, fast fashion, food production, supply chain management, textile production, microplastics pollution, energy, transportation, tourism, waste streams, and water<\/del>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
