Retrofitting Communities for Sustainability: Sustainability – What Would It Look Like?
Have you ever wondered what our community would look like if we could retrofit it for sustainable living? What if we didn’t treat water as a one-time use commodity, and there was no such thing as “waste”? Are you bursting with creative ideas for a positive future and wonder if others are too?
Don’t sit there stewing about sustainability! Unleash your ideas in a fast-paced and fun guided session with a small group of like-minded & positive people. With some images for inspiration and walls covered in drawing paper, we’ll take two hours to figure out what a great future could look like and what needs to be done. We’ll also come up with solutions to some of the impediments that might prevent us for achieving this creative future.
Given that our venue is the Greater Victoria Compost Education Centre, you know we will be considering the whole question of bio-mass quite intensively but all bets are off as to where this discussion could end up!
