Sustainability Day
On Tuesday October 28, 2008 the Guelph Institute for the Environment
(GIE) is launching an environmental day entitled “Sustainability Day:
Greening the Campus”. The proposed Sustainability Day will bring
university and community groups together, strengthening communication
and working to make Guelph’s environmental network as effective as
possible in impacting policy and environmental health in our community.
There will be a number of activities related to the issue of increasing
sustainability. These activities will include:
• The Green Raffle (see below for details)
• The Sustainability Resource Fair – this fair will provide a forum for
environmental groups from the University and the Guelph community to
share practical ways to live sustainably. A focal point of this display
will be the Zerofootprint calculator.
• Speaker and Workshops in the University Centre, room 103.
Students are involved in all aspects of the organization of
Sustainability Day. The Green Raffle is a student initiative that should
prove to be a central part of Sustainability Day. We are currently
organizing a student volunteer group of over 100 students who will be
involved in this initiative.
Groups of students will be positioned across campus on October 28 and
will reward people (students, staff, faculty) who are practicing
environmentally sustainable “behaviours” with a “Green Raffle” ticket.
Behaviour that warrants rewarding will include riding a bike, taking the
bus, using reusable food containers, using the stairs instead of the
elevator, etc. Raffle recipients will be instructed to fill out their
raffle ticket and then to take it to the Sustainability Resource Fair in
the University Centre. At the end of the day raffle tickets will be
drawn and raffle winners will receive various sustainable prizes.
We are still looking for volunteers to help out with this event. If you
would be interested in participating in the Green Raffle please contact
me at kbolton@uoguelph.ca
Sustainably Yours,
Kim Bolton

Gear Swap & Bike Drop, at Mountain Equipment Co-op
Sun Oct 26, 2008, Toronto, ON
Hey everybody, it's that time of year again: the MEC Gear
Swap, coupled with CBN's Bike Drop.
This Sunday, October 26, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, MEC will
be selling outdoor gear items for people and CBN will have a
space set up to accept donated bicycles.
Date: Oct.26, 2008
Locale: MEC's parking garage (King, just east of Spadina)
Time: 11:00am to 1:00pm
Do you have a bike collecting dust in your
garage/basement/backyard/shed that you really thought you
were going to ride this summer, but now it just doesn't need
to spend another winter in storage only to be neglected? We
can help! Drop it off, and we'll get it all spruced up and
put it back in circulation!
Do you have a couple of hours on your hands this Sunday, and
just don't know what to do with your time? We can help with
that, too! Let us know you're available, and we'll line you
up to come down to MEC to talk about CBN and thank bike
donors.

Living on Earth as if we want to Stay - with Mike Nickerson, Sustainability author and educator Tue Oct 28, 2008, Kitchener, ON
Sponsor: Grand River Environmental Network
6 p.m. Pot Luck, with talk and discussion following
St. John's Kitchen, 79 Victoria St. at Weber
Sustainability author, Mike Nickerson, and uranium activist, Donna Dillman, are on an international book tour.
"It is odd," says Nickerson, "at a time when our biggest problems are the result of our size, that our leaders maintain that more growth is the solution. Like adolescents approaching adulthood, our society clings to its carefree past. Since most adults have been able to make that transformation successfully, there is good reason to believe that our society will also accept its maturity."
Nickerson's latest book, "Life, Money & Illusion: Living on Earth as if we want to stay," details the differing views on how to be successful in our changing times. One, the "Life" perspective, says we need to preserve and enhance ecosystems and communities, the other, the "Money" perspective, says we need to continuously expand production and consumption. These two approaches differ significantly on how they would deal with today's most serious problems.
When: Tue Oct 28, 2008
Where: Kitchener, ON Canada

The posters for the $100,000 Go Green Challenge have finally arrived from head office and were mailed out this morning. You should be receiving them by the end of the week (if you requested them). Please email me to confirm once you have in fact received the shipment. The posters were packed in tight, so you can unravel the cardboard tube to get them out.
I have attached the information package including the final rules and regulations for the contest, the PowerPoint slide for presentations and the e-flyer for students. Sorry for the delay! Please confirm that you have received this email and that you can open all the attachments. I`ve sent the files in different formats (there are only 3 different files in total), as some people have been finding it difficult to open the documents. Please note that you will need to download Adobe Acrobat in order to open PDF files. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

"I'm looking for students to help staff two displays at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (www.royalfair.org) which runs from Friday November 7 to Sunday November 16 at Exhibition Place in Toronto.
The two displays are within the Agri-Food Innovation exhibit in Hall B. One is a "Welcome Centre" where we'll be showing videos and handing out information that talks about the new face of agriculture. We're showing how agriculture is providing answers to many of society's issues including food safety, environment, bioproducts, energy, and local foods.
The other is to do with the Greenbelt (www.ourgreenbelt.ca) and we're building a miniature Greenbelt which will feature various activities including a virtual pond (walk in it and fish swim away from your feet), bike racing, videos and more. The Greenbelt is a major sponsor of the Royal, so this is a large and important display.
Staffing runs in two shifts - from 9 am to 3 pm, and from 3 pm to 9 pm daily. The Fair is open from 9 am to 9 pm.
The job pays $11/hour and admission and parking passes are provided. Unfortunately we cannot help with the mileage and transportation to Toronto though.
If you're interested in experiencing the Fair, and making some pocket change, please contact me as soon as possible.
Thanks,
