Now it’s time for the next step - choosing a few of the very best ones to put into action. To make our task easier, Andrew Knox and the team who led our January event have turned all our scribblings on chart paper into an excellent report. It lays out a broad and enticing menu of options. Our upcoming meeting will employ a version of the "Open Space" method to see which of these ideas are both exciting and practical enough to generate teams that will work to make them happen.<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Presented by Transition Toronto and Green!Neighbours 21<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://gn21.ca/sites/default/files/images/Lemons%20into%20Lemonade%20Event%20Write-up%20FINAL.pdf">http://gn21.ca/sites/default/files/images/Lemons%20into%20Lemonade%20Event%20Write-up%20FINAL.pdf</a><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#d66900"><b>Responsibility to Protect -- For and Against<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">A Philosophers for Peace Debate </span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Monday March 4, 3 0 5 p.m.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Jackman Humanities Building, Room 418, U of T</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Steven Lee is a visiting research scholar this term at the Centre for Ethics.
