The world is in the midst of a disturbance of a growing, consuming population, and environmental degradation, which produces many environmental challenges such as global climate change, excessive fossil fuel dependency and the growing demand for energy, all likely to be major challenges of the 21st century and one of the greatest problems facing humanity.
In this context, urban design is the fundamental principle of how to shape our cities. Because almost half of the energy consumed is used in cities and urban built-up areas, it is necessary to avoid mistakes in urban design at early stages in order to own more sustainable cities. The 1st international conference on Green Urbanism reflects upon practical strategies focusing on increasing sustainability beyond and within the scope of individual buildings.
The conference provides a context for a general debate about the regeneration of the city center and discusses how urbanism is affected by the paradigms of ecology.
IEREK organizes this conference to deal with cross-cut issues in architecture and urban design and address the question of how we can best cohesively integrate all the aspects of energy systems, transportation systems, waste and water management, passive and active strategies, into contemporary urban design and improved environmental performance of our cities.
The significance of this conference lies in the pressing need for the integration of sustainability principles in the urban design process of cities and the general need for a sustainable city development. It will be of particular relevance to the rapid urban growth of developing cities.

Once you have mastered the basics of camping and hiking, the next step outside is backpacking! Imagine, after a day of hiking through forests, mountains & deserts, you get to relax in a remote campsite using only what you have brought in your backpack. Backpacking really is the ultimate way to get outside!
Sound daunting?
It won't be, once you learn the basics in Backpacking 101.
We will review trip-planning tips, gear lists, what you REALLY need to bring, safety advice, and other essential wisdom nuggets every backpacker ought to know. There will also be backpacking fittings and demonstrations. Plus, show and tell on how to properly pack your backpack.
Plus, we will also look at menus, cooking and water treatment options.
We frequently have special guests who are BCO Backpacking experts of all levels and travel experience, happy to jump in and help answer questions. Get ready to pick the minds of some serious backpackers!
Find us in the back of the store in the warehouse (by the restrooms)
7:00 - 8:30PM; REI, 7538 Westheimer Rd. (at Voss), Houston, TX 77063.

BCO A Social for the younger set...
October 12, 2016 - 7 PM - 9 PM
Neil's Bahr
2006 Walker St, Houston, TX 77003
If you are looking for what to do in Houston, love getting outside and being active, but notice that most of your friends, except for BCO'ers, really would rather skip the outdoor playtime - then come and connect here.
Looking to connect socially with the younger side of BCO?
It's easy to catch up with each other at some of the events, but for some reason we don't always connect at the socials - so this social is for us.
It's a good chance to meet each other. It's an even better chance to plan some adventures. And, it's a great chance to find all the other BCO'ers who are on, shall we say, the younger side!
See you at Neil's Bahr! (Look for the white and green BCO sign)
