Sustainability and Green Entrepreneurship: the SAGE Project
Fall 2008
SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry

About the SAGE Seminars

The SAGE Seminar series will expose high school students to people and ideas that demonstrate the green entrepreneurial spirit. Participants will become better versed in the science of environmental challenges, entrepreneurial thinking, and the role they can play in meeting these challenges. Science geeks, policy wonks and business-minded students will learn about opportunities and ventures in profit and non-profit contexts.

About the SAGE Project

Global energy needs and other environmental challenges make environmental — or “green” — entrepreneurship a compelling area of interest today. A national study (Battelle Memorial Institute) reported that the Syracuse/Central New York area is seen as a national leader in several sectors of green technology and innovation. The SAGE Project builds upon our region's natural, economic, educational and workforce resources to support the sustainability and green entrepreneurship education and professional development needs of students, teachers and professionals.

Our goal is to create a “green entrepreneurial culture” of informed and prepared young people in our region.
