Iowa State's Center for Excellence in the Arts and Humanities is sponsoring a Sustainable Earth series this fall.  From the website:
 
This programming series focuses on themes of environmental sustainability, with an emphasis on Iowa. CEAH will sponsor a public lecture series by some leading public scholars, as well as a creative writing workshop at the Ames Public Library and a photography exhibit at the Brunnier Museum. Sustaining the Earth also intends to explore the role of public scholarship at Iowa State University by hosting public scholarship seminars for 17 ISU faculty and staff interested in how they might be able to expand the scope and reach of their own scholarship through public channels or to incorporate service learning in the classroom.
 
Because a poster sent to us is too big to reproduce here, I'm sending links about the series
