November 14: Speaker: David Chernushenko on the topic of:
The subtle and not-so-subtle campaigns by fossil fuel companies and lobbyists to influence public opinion though disinformation, just when fact and real action are needed most.
Biography:
David Chernushenko is an educator, author, speaker, film producer and explorer of “living lightly”in our personal and professional lives.
David served two terms as an Ottawa city councillor, where he chaired the Environment and Climate Protection Committee and played a major role in promoting active transportation, complete streets, public health, supportive housing and a transition towards renewable energy.
He previously served as a member and vice chair of Canada’s National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy, and has advised governments and corporations around the world.
He has written three books on sustainable management practices, and produced three films: Be the Change; Powerful: Energy for Everyone; and Bike City, Great City.
