Our bodies are not problems to be solved. We engage in the project of trying to "fix" our bodies because we live in a system that says certain bodies are more worthy and valuable, and certain bodies have more access to certain rights. Weight bias impacts people across the weight spectrum and is a form of oppression that we can - and need to - do something about. Body size is not the problem, but oppression around body size is. We must all seek to learn about weight and size from a cultural lens, and dismantle the weight-biased beliefs that we all hold. This workshop is intended for ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� faculty or staff member who wants to engage in a healthy discussion around societal weight biased beliefs and learn about weight and size from a cultural lens.

Nick Miranda grew up in the Bay Area before moving to Boulder in 2004 to attend CU. At CU he studied politics, which got him involved and interested in environmental policy and politics. During his time there, he ran a zero waste program for an electronic music festival in Boulder called Communikey. He coordinated with venues, worked with Eco-Cycle for hauling and best practices, and instituted a bike rental program. Nick spends all of my free time now biking or hiking around the Rockies.

Dan Baril, Recycling Program Manager, ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Environmental Center

Dan decided to take on the responsibility of recycling at CU in the Spring of 2006, bringing him to be involved in one of the most established campus recycling programs in the nation. This CU Recycling Program is an appropriate destination for Dan¹s path since many of his steps to get here were walked next to bottles and cans. Starting his recycling mentality at Babson College, where he managed and expanded the campus recycling program to include all residence halls and a sorting process to generate revenue from the waste stream. While earning a B.S. in Business Administration with a focus on Entrepreneurship, Dan also served as an intern to the Recycling Coordinator for the City of Nashua, NH. This experience provided a direct knowledge of the impacts that a recycling center has on a city¹s waste stream. With the CU Recycling program, Dan can help to foster a sense of environmental stewardship among students for them to carry with them for the rest of their lives. Day to day functions involve managing the recycling student staff, who are the life force of the recycling program, organizing recycling at special events on campus, working with the outreach team to spread awareness of recycling on campus, and working with the Green Teams to reach the students off campus.
