Learn to lighten your footprint
To help contribute the idea of positive living to the world, the 2008 Sustainable Living Symposium will be held on March 29 at Loyalist College.
"The idea was to bring together our local expertise on one day and invite the community to come and learn from them and just explore different types of sustainable lifestyle options that we could incorporate into our own lifestyles," says Maya Navrot, conservation education coordinator of Quinte Conservation.
Where: Brockville Public Library
What: BCAG Powerpoint presentation and open discussion
NOTE! This meeting was postponed from its usual day which would fall on the Easter weekend.
A Teach-in on Energy, Climate Change, Water, Agriculture and Population
Global warming. Energy depletion. Overpopulation. You are only as healthy as the world you live in. Without awareness and significant change, Earth’s once bountiful treasures will be depleted.
On Thursday, April 10, researchers at The Ohio State University College of Public Health will gather national experts for a conversation on the state of our planet’s health.
“Converging Environmental Crises” is a Web-based conference on topics such as global warming, overpopulation and energy depletion.
