do-gooder word of the day, sustainability.
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007sustainability at SFU that is. I have long paid lip service to the idea and general concepts behind of sustainability, but besides trying to be a good recycler, and use my own coffee mug when I get take-out americanos (which I suck at doing most of the time), I have done very little to attempt to decrease my own ecological footprint on the planet, or help others decrease theirs. What with all the extra time and energy i seem to have on my hands these days, I was receptive to the call from Sustainable SFU to complete a survey they are conducting to analyze the viability of a Farmers market at SFU.
The SFU Local Food Project in collaboration with students from the Semester in Dialogue program would like to hear what you think about the possibility of a farmers market at SFU! We know your time is valuable so if you are able to participate we would like to enter you in a draw for a free cookbook. Please follow this link to participate in the survey http://websurvey.sfu.ca/survey/4817388 and then follow the directions for the draw entry.
Thought I would at least post the link to survey, (having already filled it out myself) but am thinking about volunteering with this group as they seem to be looking for a broad assortment of skills and talent. Their site is interesting , although as an info nerd I notice the lack of an RSS feed for their news and events right away. They do provide a couple of handy resources. a nice looking 2007 Local Food Calendar, which you can print out, (new recipes every month) and a green practices guide which I plan to look over.
I know some of my other web 2.0 brothers and sisters have been big in this area for awhile now, so i’m off to troll through my links for the best of the best eco websites and organizations out there. What factors make a kickass and eco-friendly website/community?
