Hi Liz,
We are in the process of developing a waste minimization strategy as well. Would you mind sharing with us as well?

Re: LEED Behavioural Change Impacts in Energy Savings

Emily,
This sounds like an application of the concept of Local Improvement Charges or LICs to finance energy efficiency measures. The Pembina Institute undertook at study for the federal government on this concept. You can find their report here: http://communities.pembina.org/pub/197
I too would like to know more about the program that Claudette wrote about. It sounds as though Vancouver has implemented an LIC program.

Kelley,
This sounds like a great opportunity for both myself and my colleague. Unfortunately, we are both in a meeting regarding the development of a waste reduction strategy for the University. Will the webinar be recorded and available on the EPA website later?

I don't have such a document to offer. I would love to receive similar documents from anyone who has one to share.

Re: University-Led Permaculture Research

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. It would appear a number of post-secondary course programs exist but I have yet to find an academic undertaking research directly related to permaculture. I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of people so I may yet find someone.

Thanks for your help Daniel. I have left a message for Rob Hopkins and through searching for a way to contact him I made a connection with someone else who will help.

University-Led Permaculture Research
2009-11-16 09:44:36 UTC
I am trying to stir up some academic interest on our campus for research into permaculture suitable for the Saskatchewan climate. Before I begin discussing the topic with researchers here I'd like to go prepared with examples of research being done at other universities.
Is anyone aware of university-led permaculture projects, past or present?
Thanks for your help!
