Bound by Water: The Tulane Law School Summit on Environmental Law & Policy
April 9-11, 2010
Presented by the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law & Policy
and the Tulane Environmental Law Society
Water is one of the elemental forces that have shaped our planet and human development. Too much or too little of it can be the difference between growth and decline; between success and failure; and between how cultures develop. It has always been so and remains so today though not always in ways that our laws, policies and expectations are well tuned to deal with.
Changing climates, dwindling fresh water supplies, and shifting demands are bringing renewed attention to how our water resources are managed—and how they perhaps should be. This places water at the intersection of law and policy; science and technology; and culture, economics and environmental stewardship.
The Bound by Water summit will feature some of our nation’s most eminent experts on water law, policy, and management and will be of interest to lawyers, policy makers, planners, resource users, advocates, and others with an interest in how water management affects their community, business, or future.

Who Dat Recycling?
Coca Cola’s traveling Recycling Education Vehicle will visit the Tulane campus on Wednesday, February 10, 2010, encouraging students to recycle in the midst of Mardi Gras. The vehicle will be parked between Irby House and Bruff Commons from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. There will be rewards for recyclers who bring bottle and cans and information about Tulane’s recycling system and RecycleMania competition. A count will be kept all day of the number of bottles and cans brought in by students, staff and faculty from the Superbowl and Mardi Gras weekend.
The visit is part of a year-long collaboration between Coke and Tulane to expand campus recycling and ultimately recycle every bottle sold on campus. Recycling bins added to athletic venues this year were provided by Coke, fashioned from barrels that the company uses to ship syrup. With Coke’s assistance, bottle and can recycling on campus increased an estimated 35% between 2008 and 2009, with 31 tons of plastic bottles and aluminum cans recycled in 2009.
Tulane’s uptown campus is in the midst of RecycleMania, a 10 week recycling competition between college and universities. For more information on RecycleMania and recycling at Tulane, visit Recycle.tulane.edu
