I've taken it Great Course! - Green Economy Course

[GBS]

I'm posting this because I've taken the course and it is terrific - check it
out!
Just a few weeks to register for Toronto's premier course on green economic
alternatives, featuring the cutting-edge eco-innovators in the Toronto
region:

THE GREEN ECONOMY:

Practical Strategies to Create Community-based Eco-economies

A 30-hr. course over 10 weeks, Thursdays Jan. 27 to March 31, 2005, 7 to 10
pm $150 presented by the Labour Education Centre (LEC) Ontario Federation of
Labour Bldg.,

15 Gervais Drive (a few meters north and east of Don Mills & Eglinton)

Room M1 (basement level)

The Green Economy is an overview of radical potentials for reorganizing the
economy for social and ecological purposes, while at the same time
showcasing exciting alternatives being built right now in the existing
economy.

The premise of the course is that today's social, economic and environmental
crises are not problems of management, but of design. A process of economic
conversion is necessary to create economic structures which facilitate human
self-development, social justice, community enrichment and ecological
regeneration. Tinkering with the System will not do; and yet, the required
changes can only emerge gradually and incrementally. How can really radical
and qualitative change emerge organically? This course looks at the
principles and practical strategies which can accomplish such a
transformation.

The focus of the course is on the range of practical economic alternatives
being established in various sectors of the economy--from agriculture and
the food system, to manufacturing, to transportation, to urban planning &
design, to local politics, and much more. The 30-hr. course features expert
guest speakers, videos, interesting literature and lots of discussion.

The sessions planned for this year include:

* Principles of Green Economics

* Sustainable Agriculture & the Food System

* The Soft Energy Path

* the Feminist Gift Economy

* Green Jobs and the Future of the Labour Movement

* Urban Design & the Built Environment

* Sustainable Transportation

* Labour & the Struggle for Extended Producer Responsibility

Check out the detailed schedule and description at
http://www.greeneconomics.net/GE2005-schedule.htm

Coordinator and main instructor of The Green Economy is Brian Milani, of the
Coalition for a Green Economy and York U. Faculty of Environmental Studies.
He is the author of Designing the Green Economy:

the postindustrial alternative to corporate globalization.

Since you have already finished that one, could you please explain the
above items?

I can't figure out which definition is appropriate here (from
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sustainable)

1. To keep in existence; maintain.
2. To supply with necessities or nourishment; provide for.
3. To support from below; keep from falling or sinking; prop.
4. To support the spirits, vitality, or resolution of; encourage.
5. To bear up under; withstand: can't sustain the blistering heat.
6. To experience or suffer: sustained a fatal injury.
7. To affirm the validity of: The judge has sustained the prosecutor's
objection.
8. To prove or corroborate; confirm.
9. To keep up (a joke or assumed role, for example) competently.




Can we also have a sustainable internet (without spamming)?

To anyone who considers this to be spam, I offer my apology. I only wanted
to diseminate information about a course that has a lot to offer if you're
interested in the environmmental and economic problems that threaten us all.

I guess if I was trying to sell a gas-guzzling oil burner death-trap that
would be OK.

considers this spamming?? ... what do you not consider spam... where do YOU
draw the line on these types of ng's... are you saying that any and all
companies should start posting here... you do realize there are thousands of
companies in the TO area alone.. and at even only one post a day ... that
would basically bring it to a halt in one day.. destroying the ng...
Can you explain YOUR position on this.. it would be intesting to know..



I only wanted

Post by GBS
to diseminate information

In other words .. free advertizing for what you are selling... call it like
it is .. at least you may retain some credibility .

about a course that has a lot to offer if you're

Post by GBS
interested in the environmmental and economic problems that threaten us all.

There are alot worse things going on around the world at the moment .. REAL
lives being snuffed out .. real disasters.. 6 thousand lives a day to aids
alone..
And you want people to worry about your "earth group hug"....

Post by GBS
I guess if I was trying to sell a gas-guzzling oil burner death-trap

Millions of people drive these "evil machines" every day.... the amount of
deaths "Caused" by those Machines... are miniscule .. so .. already your
credibility is pretty low..
Maybe you could go to the Tsunami devastated areas and help out there... or
is there no money in it for you .





that

Post by GBS
would be OK.

Probably ... as the for-sale ngs are generally acknowledged as a "used" or
"not from a dealer" for sale groups .. then ya..
When you have a "realistic" way to move people without severely interupting
thier lives [ spend 3 hours a day on buses trains etc just to go to and from
the job that they get paid for being there for 8 hours.. ] then cough it
up.. otherwise ... for people have lives to live with families they want to
see..your simplistic and of course irrational demand that everyone become
green is at to great a cost ..
how much time will be left for families if the parant/s spend those extra
hours on a bus.

What does your course say...

I'm not selling anything, I'm only trying to inform based on my experience.
Please don't have a heart attack.

[GBS]

No I didn't snip out your questions, I snipped out everything. This is to
save everybody time. BTW, have you informed everybody else on this NG that
they're not allowed to sell anything here? And who appointed you head of the
communist party?

No heart attack here.. I asked some questions that you seem to have
snipped out for some reason.. I would assume your course does not have
answers for them ..maybe you should go back and re-write the course so it
does.
Oh and by the way...is there a "charge" for this course.. if so.. you are
"SELLING" ..
Thanks for coming out.

Like I said, you snipped out my questions.. what is so hard for you to
understand .

This is to

Save time??... YOU snipping out questions that you can not answer only saves
you time..




BTW, have you informed everybody else on this NG that

Post by GBS
they're not allowed to sell anything here?

You can do whatever you want..its an open forum , no rules... just common
courticy ...but don't expect others to accept you are spamming .
If you have no respect for this group , then at least expect to get
questioned on your cridibility .

You said you did not think it was spamming... I explained why I think it is
...you snipped that out .. and did not answer the questions directed to you
..

You also stated you were "not selling anything" . you said ..you were "only
trying to inform"...
I asked you also... ""do you charge for this course.."" you did not
answer that as either...
If you can not answer some simple questions .. how can YOU teach a course .




And who appointed you head of the

Post by GBS
communist party?

the last ditch effort to avert the fact that you "are spamming" this ng...
and you are "making money" from it ..
Try to get it right though... it is "who made you the net cop"...
How about answering the questions..
Then I will explain to you that your statement of me being "communist" is
silly ..
Go ahead.. give it try.
