Discussion and ideas around building a value-based social movement and green
economy through social marketing and branding.  How do we translate public
support for conservation into an integrated and robust transition strategy
to a conserver society and a conserver economy?  How can "we conserve"
become as widely used as "we recycle", while at the same time challenging us
all to make a meaningful commitment to reducing our environmental footprint.

 

Draft principles and guidelines for the use of "We Conserve" will be posted
on www.weconserve.ca <http://www.weconserve.ca/>  prior to the Summit.

 

 

All registrants for the Summit will receive free admission to the Green
Living Show.

 

 

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, you can choose the
registration fee that matches your budget: $125 full cost, $60 subsidized
rate, or complimentary.  

 

Our thanks go to the Province of Ontario (Ministry of the Environment,
Ministry of Energy, and Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal), The Beer
Store, The Ontario Trillium Foundation, Roxul Inc., Citizens Bank of Canada,
and Autoshare.
