Sustainability - What's Culture Got To Do With It?

This blog draws on my work as an applied anthropologist and the creative work of others to explore what it means to build sustainable cultures. How do our histories influence our sustainability beliefs/actions? How can we work together to come up with diverse solutions? How can we use sustainability as an opportunity to build community?

First Report from ICLEI-Canada Livable Cities Forum

LIVE FROM ICLEI-CANADA'S LIVABLE CITIES FORUM: Spending lots of time at this conference on adaptation and resilience talking to the Mayor of Goderich, about the tornado that devastated their town in 2011 and their efforts to rebuild--including planting now 150 new trees in the downtown square. Read about the tree parade here: http://www.bayshorebroadcasting.ca/news_item.php?NewsID=52213

Next week, look back for a full report on the Toolkit keynote presentation I gave and the innovations happening "north of the border"!
