STUDENT PROJECTS EXPLORE THE WATER FOOTPRINT

Students from ENV337H1: Human Interactions with the Environment prepared videos for the World Water Day Celebration (March 22nd). Exploring the water footprint makes us more aware of how humans are active and passive elements of the water cycle and, therefore, how our food choices, for example, impact the global water cycle, even thousands of kilometres away from our homes. “It is a privilege to learn personally from students about their experiences after calculating their water footprint over two weeks, which they present in these videos: their challenges, difficulties, achievements, and insights,” says Sessional Lecturer Carlos Avendano.

Fossil Fuels in the Age of Climate Change with Garth Lenz, editorial and fine art photographer. This is an illustrated discussion of the impacts of climate change and growing awareness and concerns around fossil fuels and how this will impact Canada's economic and ecological future. As these issues become increasingly polarized and rational open discussion becomes more challenging but also more necessary than ever, the role of art and photography can play a role in encouraging discussions of these issues in a non threatening and non polarizing context.
