SUMMARY:Small Steps in Ecological Footprinting
DESCRIPTION:Event Description:\nIf everyone in the world consumed reso
 urces and materials at the same rate as the average North American, we
  would need four planets to provide for the needs of every human being
  on Earth. While most of us have heard of the concept of an “ecologi
 cal footprint”, an idea that originated with UBC’s William Rees, i
 t’s a difficult principle to put into practice. Measuring and unders
 tanding the way we use resources and create waste is the key to reduci
 ng our ecological input, however, scaling from the planetary to the pe
 rsonal is not an easy thing to do. This dialogue will seek out answers
  to the following questions: What are the challenges to understanding 
 our ecological footprint? How can the concept best be communicated and
  how effective is it in promoting behavioural change? What does the fu
 ture hold for “ecological footprinting”?\nOur panelists have both 
 been involved with Evergreen's Project Green Bloc, a demonstration ini
 tiative where residents of Vancouver's Riley Park neighbourhood are wo
 rking to lower their collective ecological footprint by 25 percent ove
 r 3 years through community collaboration and science-based research m
 odels.\nRegistration Instructions: Please reserve your seat at http://
