Measuring, Reporting and Reducing your Environmental Footprint
Date: November 2, 2011 (8:30am-4:30pm)
Location: Humber College, North Campus (Toronto, ON)
In this program we will examine how waste, water, energy, emissions
and greenhouse gas environmental footprints are the basis for
comparative advantage in Sustainability, Corporate Social
Responsibility and Socially Responsible Investment reports today.
We will introduce the concepts of ecological and environmental
footprint, discuss the approaches used by "best practice' companies,
examine Enviro-Stewards 5-step system to environmental footprint
assessment and explore continuous improvement to meet footprint and
overhead cost reductions. Learn about achieving sustainable operations
through the evolving concepts of industrial metabolism, materials flow
and substitution, input-output analysis, life cycle assessment and
industrial symbiosis.

Facilitation Workshop 101
Date: November 5, 2011
Location: University of Toronto St George Campus (Room location is
given upon registration)
A major part of movement building is lots of meetings. Meetings can be
inspiring, hellish, or somewhere in between. The quality of a meeting
depends a lot on good facilitation. Facilitators aren't supposed to
run the show, and they do more than keep track of who wants to speak.
Come learn and share strategies for fostering good communication,
equity, active listening and effective decision making for meetings of
all shapes and sizes. Register: http://www.toolsforchange.net/2011/08/14/facilitation-101/
