SUMMARY:Postponed-GrowthBusters\, Hooked on Growth – the film
DESCRIPTION:Many cities and states link population growth with economic growth\, but perpetual economic growth/population growth aren’t sustainable—we’re exhausting Earth’s resources and ecosystems. This documentary about overpopulation and growth challenges the beliefs that drive attitudes and policies. The Climate Peril requires us to reduce consumption and reach a steady state economy. \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED-How to Cost Effectively Build Zero Energy Home
DESCRIPTION:Join EEBA (Energy & Environmental Building Alliance) and Earth Advantage for this 1-day training and learn how to eliminate common barriers to Zero Energy (ZE) home construction\, benefit from the rapid trend towards ZE\, and earn a ‘Zero Energy Builder’ designation.\nZero Energy (ZE) homes are a big part of the future of home building business. While the materials and equipment to reach zero energy are available\, designers and builders must create a bundle of energy-efficiency features that matches their climate\, customers\, and business constraints. \nThis 7-hour class lays out numerous elements of zero energy design and construction\, so that building professionals can formulate a package appropriate for their situation. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Participants in this class will learn design principles\, equipment options\, emerging technologies\, material selections\, and construction practices that can be integrated into their building process. Strong emphasis is placed on ways to make the final product affordable for homebuyers. Sales and marketing ideas\, as well as localized resources\, builder spotlights\, programs and next steps will also be presented. \n‘Zero Energy Builder’ Designation \nParticipants will have the opportunity to earn EEBA’s ‘Zero Energy Builder’ designation and be listed on EEBA & EA registries of accredited professionals.
