- The Manifesto of Hope: A New Social Contract for Our Human Family
Satya Brata Das
Tuesday, October 27, 2026, 6-7 pm PT
The U.S. and a host of major corporations have shelved their efforts to replace carbon-spewing technologies with clean energy. Despite years of international pledges, global efforts have failed to stop rising temperatures from endangering the planet. Yet in The Manifesto of Hope, published this October, the author, a journalist and veteran of global climate conferences, shows that the effort to make the world green and more fair, especially for the Global South, is an unstoppable force.
Sustainability is being powered by solid economics: Green and renewable energy is much more profitable and economically viable than any new fossil fuel ventures. The world is moving ahead with sustainability plans, and in the absence of the U.S., the leaders will be China and India.
At a time when efforts by global politicians have stalled while climate emergency, conflict, and corruption have corroded all our aspirations for a just society in a liveable planet, the author aims to empower citizen leaders to push for tough and enforceable measures to save the planet and our species. Since IEEE Planet Positive 2030 is central to the actionable solutions in the book, this talk is a good opportunity to discuss the implications of Strong Sustainability by Design and how it can be implemented. "The future is a matter of choice, not fate," the author says. "Let us choose to lead." See book announcement on LinkedIn.

Lake Oswego - Cost:
- Admission fee may apply
- Abstract:
The officers of the Oregon/SW Washington Chapter of the Industry Applications Society invite you to join us Wednesday evening, October 28, 2026, for our dinner, meeting, and technical presentation. We appreciate the support of all who attend our dinners and presentations. We will be meeting at our “home base” MEGI Engineering in Lake Oswego. This location is easy to access by car from the Interstate 5 Kruse Way/Lake Oswego exits. Ample free parking and entrance at the West side of the building.
The cost for dinner is with food from Honey Baked Ham. There is no charge to attend the presentation only. Our IAS Chapter always offers free dinners for local PSU, OSU, George Fox, U of P, OIT and WSUV Electrical Engineering Students who attend our meetings. This is an excellent networking opportunity for students as our meetings are attended by many professionals in consulting, industrial engineering, and electrical equipment manufacturing.
- Title:
- SusTech Talk November 2026 - Plasma-Assisted Nitrogen Fixation (PANF) Technologies for Sustainable, Distributed Nitrogen Fertilizer Production
- Date:
- November 10th
6:00 PM (3 hours) - Abstract:
- Plasma-Assisted Nitrogen Fixation (PANF) Technologies for Sustainable, Distributed Nitrogen Fertilizer Production
with Pascal Mickelson, Lead Scientist at Arctura, Inc
Date/Time: Tuesday, November 10 , 6 – 7 pm Pacific Time
Abstract:
Plasma-Assisted Nitrogen Fixation (PANF) technologies use low-temperature plasma to fix atmospheric nitrogen using electricity and air, bypassing traditional fossil-fuel-reliant manufacturing networks. Synthetic nitrogen fertilizer manufactured by the century-old Haber-Bosch process demands large centralized facilities, intensive natural gas feedstocks, and extreme pressure & temperature to break down atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) molecules. In contrast, PANF offers a highly selective and distributed alternative using targeted energy and cleaner chemistry.
