Caring for our Environment: Do small actions really make a difference?
7:00 to 9:00 PM
Mangiacake Café 160 McCaul St.
(2 blocks south of College on McCaul St. and Elm St.)
With special guest Stuart Chan from the Sustainability Office at the University of Toronto
Moderator: Blake Poland (Environmental Health Justice in the City network, Centre for Urban Health Initiatives)
Environmental awareness is at an all-time high. We are bombarded with buzz-words like eco friendly, organic, carbon neutral, sustainable, responsible. More and more ‘regular folks’ are changing their everyday habits with the intention of reducing their environmental impact. Do these small steps, made out of concern for our very real environmental plight, actually make a difference? Join us for a lively and provocative community discussion.
What is a Conversation Café? It is a forum, a space for public conversation, where people from all walks of life can come to discuss interesting issues. A guest kicks off the discussion with a few thoughts of his or her own, but this is NOT A LECTURE, and there are no special experts, just people interested in the topic and in dialogue. You can come to listen, and/or to share your own thoughts. These public conversations are meant to be fun, free, and open to everyone.
