Rifkin predicts the collapse of the fossil fuel civilization by 2028, resulting in 100 trillion dollars in stranded fossil fuel assets and the rise of a Third Industrial Revolution post-carbon era. He warns that Canada, currently the fourth largest producer of crude oil in the world, will be caught in the crosshairs between the plummeting price of solar and wind energy and the fallout from peak oil demand and accumulating stranded assets in the oil industry and will need to establish a bold Green New Deal economic vision if it is to adapt and prosper.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://alumni.innis.utoronto.ca/event/rifkin">https://alumni.innis.utoronto.ca/event/rifkin</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B0F0'>City Hall and TDSB 101<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Tues.

However, these initiatives often focus on specific narratives influenced by industries which do not always align with science. They also do not consider other knowledge systems, nor do they use a social justice framework. Dr. Colla will talk about where we’ve gone wrong in our attempts to save bees despite intense political and public will, and she will explain how we can move forward to conserve them and the ecosystem services they provide.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.environment.utoronto.ca/events/environment-seminar-when-a-bee-is-a-bee-is-a-bee-taking-an-interdisciplinary-approach-for-pollinator-conservation/">https://www.environment.utoronto.ca/events/environment-seminar-when-a-bee-is-a-bee-is-a-bee-taking-an-interdisciplinary-approach-for-pollinator-conservation/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#ED7D31'>Ontario Basic Income Lobby Day<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.

We have established a GoFundMe page to help offset the cost of hosting a reception for MPPs on that day. The day will feature meetings with individual members and groups of MPPs in the morning that will be hosted by OBIN members. There will be a reception in the late afternoon/early evening which is where the expense comes in. We are hoping to establish working relationships with members and help dispel some myths about basic income and why it is a requirement to assure that all citizens of Ontario can live with dignity. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6qINUvvDwDfdWdOLUQyR0ZTSkQyV25Qci1rYVVOZGRTY2tB/view">https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6qINUvvDwDfdWdOLUQyR0ZTSkQyV25Qci1rYVVOZGRTY2tB/view</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B0F0'>Want to learn about fossil fuel subsidies in Canada?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.
