“Tap into Your Water” – London Citizens organize Water Forum to raise awareness about this precious resource.Submitted Wed, 2008-05-21 15:08 — Gary Brown London, ON: “Tap into Your Water” – London Citizens organize Water Forum to raise awareness about this precious resource. Prior to the announcement concerning Bisphenol A in plastic water bottles a concerned group of London citizens were in the process of organizing a Water Forum for May 31st. Representatives came together from the Council of Canadians - London Chapter and wastefreeworld.org, to design a forum around water that would educate and encourage participation of interested Londoners. “This forum will provide citizens with an opportunity to learn first hand, from those working with water every day, what the concerns are with bottled water, what is done to protect our drinking water at source, what the benefits are of our municipal water system, and what to do if there are water advisories. This is a unique opportunity for Londoners to Tap into their Water”. quoted Richard Bird, Water Protection Committee Council of Canadians. Organizers have obtained knowledgable panelists from Polaris Institute, UTRCA, City of London, and the Waterloo Region District School Board, to equip attendees with a wealth of information with respect to municipal and bottled water. “When we are asked for water at The Tea Haus, our customers can receive a glass of filtered water (no bottles!) free of charge. Water is a necessity of life and we don't believe in charging for it. Most people complain about the cost of gas these days but are more than willing to pay $2 for 591ml of water...just a thought..”. said Stefanie Stoelzel, The Tea Haus website. The facilitated session will include breakout groups. These groups will be asked to formulate a water strategy from what they have learned and to participate in an ongoing dialogue in their community. “We know that this forum is just a first step to get the interest flowing, but as with any long journey it begins with the first step” said Gary Brown, Water Chemist. “We are excited by the prospect of what people will contribute as a result of discussions in the break-out groups. If we can coalesce a group of water enthusiasts we will be able to cause ripples of positive change in the community.” More information is available at Council of Canadians – London Chapter website. This community forum has been made possible through the dedicated efforts of a few volunteers. In addition, the City of London, the Upper Thames Region Conservation Authority, Novack’s, Trojan Technologies, The Tea Haus, Ten Thousand Villages and locals of CAW and CUPE have come forward to sponsor this event and bring it to Londoners for no admission. Registrations will be accepted at tapintoyourwater@gmail.com until Tuesday May 27, 2008 Event: Tap into Your Water Contact Info: Richard Bird Event title: Start: End: Location: Location(s)City Hall 300 Duffrin London, ON See map: Google Maps Contact Email: Key 1

Climate Change 1, at Euglena Academy(open enrollment)Submitted Sat, 2008-05-24 19:57 — Sundog Please find attached a (revised) flier for the upcoming Climate Change 1 weekend workshops at Euglena Academy. This workshop offers a unique perspective on climate change based in systems sciences & geophysiology not available anywhere else in the region. Climate change driven by global heating will be rapid, extreme, chaotic & violent. It will challenge the stability of civilization, and sooner than later. Two workshop dates are scheduled so far, both at Euglena in Eugene: * Friday, May 30 - Sunday, June 1 (Also offered soon in Portland ... A second workshop, CC2 on solutions, is on the drawing board; TBA soon ... ) 1. Euglena events - courses, workshops & special events - are for adults 18+. Without special arrangements, those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent. 2. Reservations are strongly suggested for Euglena events. On most evenings, they are not required, & will not be necessary this weekend. However, we have limited seating & space. Therefore, after May 24, for workshops & special events - like free climate lectures & Symbiotic Saturdays - the only way to guarantee entry is with a reservation. You are always welcome to drop by w/o reservation, but we can't guarantee entry w/o one. See this page for more on reservations & studio etiquette here. That page on etiquette encourages guests to remember that Euglena is a professional educational space & multimedia studio. All guests are expected to treat the space & all other guests with respect & dignity. 3. Through Saturday, June 7, Symbiotic Saturday open house events in the evening will be by contribution. No one will be turned away for lack of ability to pay. But after June 7, there will be a charge for most Symbiotic Saturdays (that can be deducted from your Euglena subscription account). Please distribute this widely electronically, and/or make paper copies for distribution. I'm happy to answer any questions[the website also has much more]. info@euglena-academy.net Thanks for your help. I hope to see you for a workshop, the free Friday lectures, and/or the open house potlucks on Saturday nights.

International Conference on Peak Oil & Climate Change: Paths to SustainabilitySubmitted Tue, 2008-04-15 16:41 — mdselzer FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LOCAL SUSTAINABILITY TO BE HELD IN GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN Local Future is hosting the first-of-its-kind International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate Change: Paths to Sustainability, on Friday, May 30 through Sunday, June 1, at the Calvin College’s Fine Arts Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many international experts believe that the worldwide production of oil has “peaked” and that the coming decades will bring a decline in the amount of available oil, leading to a global economic, environmental and social crisis unless steps are taken now to plan for the future. The conference is geared toward helping the general public, business leaders and lawmakers understand how global oil supplies and the burning of petroleum-based fuels for energy has caused sharp rises in gas prices that impact not only our means of transportation, but the price of our food, shelter and well-being. The conference is designed around four breakout tracks, covering broad topics of energy, food, environment, community, and the economy. Participants will hear from leading professionals and international experts who understand the various symptoms of peak oil and climate change, and have knowledge of how we can overcome the associated economic and environmental challenges that lie ahead by developing sustainable cultures within our local communities. For more information on Local Future and the conference visit: http://www.localfuture.org Event title: Start: End: Location: Location(s)1795 Knollcrest Circle SE Grand Rapids, MI, 49546-4404 See map: Google Maps Event Website: Contact Email: Key 1
