I do have a probalem with this myself -- I'm an interior designer, and its taken me YEARS of attending lectures and seminars to know half what I know about green design and such... and I would NEVER EVER in a million years speak to a group of middle school kids about environmental design, let alone grad students. I simply do not have the proper knowledge to do so.

Its one thing to be invilolved in environmental issues, another to stand before students and teach them. Its not just environment here, you are dealing with engineering and other related concepts when it comes to environmental design. Last I checked, engineer wasn't in her resume.

Ah.... but I guess what counts is I get up there and giggle (oh, wait, I don't have the cute little giggle Cameron has) and put a spotlight on environmental design Next thing you know, we'll have universities flooded with students who want to be environmental designers thinking it'd be cool and fun. They'll have NO clue what the job really entails.
