Toronto Oasis is running our second online meeting this upcoming Sunday March 29th. Please review our online meeting instructions at:
https://torontooasis.org/online-meeting-instructions
Our program will run from 11 am to 12:30 pm but you can join in to the meeting starting at 10:45 am.
For this second online meeting, we will be having a featured speaker! Our featured speaker will be David Chernushenko, a writer, educator, speaker, film producer and explorer of ‘living lightly’ in our personal and professional lives.
He was twice elected to Ottawa city council (2010-18), where he chaired the Environment and Climate Protection Committee and played a major role in promoting a renewable energy transition, active transportation, complete streets, public health and supportive housing.
He served as a member of Canada’s National Round table on the Environment and the Economy, the International Olympic Committee’s Sport and Environment Commission and as deputy leader of the Green Party of Canada.
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. He recently published his first novel, Burning Souls, an “eco-political thriller.”
Can we move from fearing climate breakdown and grieving ecological destruction to fostering love and determined action? In a time where evidence and personal experience point to our Earth’s natural systems continuing to degrade rapidly, many of us search for our place in this big mess. What is my role? Does it still matter? We’ll explore together how we might face the truth straight on, and chart a path as full of love, compassion and beauty as we can manage. As individuals and as a community.
