[greenon-l] Conservation Summit update

[cco]

Gentle reminder #2.

 

 

Here's two more good reasons to come to the Conservation Summit 

Thursday December 4,

Royal York Hotel Ballroom, Toronto

http://www.weconserve.ca/summit/ 

 

 

The Hon. George Smitherman, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure will be
our guest speaker over lunch, and Peter Love, Ontario's Chief Energy
Conservation Officer will lead off the day with a welcome address.

 

Minister Smitherman has recently toured Europe to learn about their
approaches to conservation and renewable energy and, as the minister for
both infrastructure and energy, he has a keen understanding of the
interconnection between urban design and energy consumption.

 

Peter Love's 2008 progress report contains several recommendations that have
a strong bearing on our work.  First, he has adopted the "distributed
leadership" model and has called on all major businesses and institutions to
identify an energy conservation officer (similar to last year's
recommendation for municipalities to identify "municipal energy conservation
officers").  He has also recognized the important role that community groups
play in engaging the public in conservation, and has called for increased
funding for community-based conservation.   

 

This is a great opportunity for us all to reinforce the call for stronger
conservation policies and programs in Ontario!

 

 

And one more reason.
