go head to head in a battle to see who can
swear off consumerism and produce the least
landfill garbage in an entire year. Their
light-hearted competition is set against a
darker examination of the problem waste in our
"throw away" society. Featuring interviews

Clean Bin Project presents the serious topic
of waste reduction with optimism, humour, and
inspiration for individual action.

Builders: Free (RSVP mandatory). Non-members:
$10
· Speaker: Gordon Howell, P.Eng., Howell-Mayhew
Engineering
· Details: Our perceptions of
"affordability" and "economics" are most
interesting -- what we choose to "afford"
regardless of poor economics, and what we
choose to decline regardless of good
economics... What's up with net zero energy
housing? How does it work? What are the costs?
Can we afford it? Can we afford not to? What
are we learning from the early net zero houses
in Edmonton, where the costs have dropped by
35% in just one year. How will this affect
policy development, municipal planning, worker
training? What policies does net zero housing
need to make it mainstream? Who will lead this
transformation? Who will block it?
