By shifting to local geothermal energy sources, Ontarians can stop importing energy that takes jobs and money out of our municipal and provincial economies. Our evening will begin with a presentation explaining what ground source geothermal energy is – hint, it’s hiding just below the surface of our city. This will be followed by a second presentation explaining options and ideas for using geothermal resources to heat homes, create jobs, and pay for Ontario’s transit.

Some hail this as the new efficient face of capitalism, supply and demand in live action to the benefit of everyone. Others see it as the cancer of monopolistic capitalism transcending the nation state and shifting into a new transnational world of cyber markets. As the case always is with new economic trends, the accumulation of profits occurs at an accelerating pace. We will shine light on and debate these new aspects of global capitalism.

But what about the high level nuclear waste? Industry hopes to bury it too, they just don’t know where yet.</font> <font size="2">Currently, there are 13 communities in ON and SK involved in the ‘Learn More’ process with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO), including one just NW of Toronto. The final promise is a $20 billion dollar construction project to bury at least 4.6 million used fuel bundles.</font> <font size="2">There are significant critiques about burying nuclear waste, and a history of failures for the industry. Come hear from frontline voices who have been resisting both the creation of nuclear waste, and the burial.</font> <font size="2">Speakers include:</font><br><font size="2">- Brennain Lloyd, Northwatch</font><br><font size="2">- Lorraine Rekmans, Serpent River First Nation</font><br><font size="2">- Chris Peabody, Brockton Town Councillor</font><br><font size="2">- Angela Bischoff, Ontario Clean Air Alliance</font><br><font size="2"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/572832252851041/">https://www.facebook.com/events/572832252851041/</a></font> email: <font size="2"><a href="mailto:angela@cleanairalliance.org">angela@cleanairalliance.org</a></font><br><font size="2"> </font><br><font size="2">---------------------------------------</font><br></font><div><font size="2" face="Times">---------------------------------------</font></div><div><font size="2" face="Times"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times"><b><font size="4" color="#9929bd">Hot Docs</font></b><br><font size="2">Bloor Cinema (Bloor and Bathurst)</font><br><font size="2"><a href="http://bloorcinema.com/">http://bloorcinema.com/</a></font><br><br><font size="2">---------------------------------------</font><br><font size="2">---------------------------------------</font><br><br><b><font size="4" color="#b51a00">NOW magazine hosts a very comprehensive online events listing</font></b><br><font size="2"><a href="https://nowtoronto.com/search/event/community-events/">https://nowtoronto.com/search/event/community-events/</a></font><br><br><font size="2">---------------------------------------</font><br><font size="2">---------------------------------------</font><br><br><br><br><font size="2"><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</font><br><font size="2">Eulogies and Condolences for Tooker</font><br><font size="2">and Stories of ecology and activism</font><br><font size="2"><a href="http://www.greenspiration.org">http://www.greenspiration.org</a></font><br><font size="2"><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</font><br><font size="2">Join my email list by emailing Angela at:</font><br><font size="2"><a href="mailto:greenspiration@web.ca">greenspiration@web.ca</a></font><br><font size="2">Write "subscribe" in the subject line</font><br><font size="2">and tell me what city/country you live in</font><br><font size="2"><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</font></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
