Another exciting update is that D7070 is being included as a partner in a major grant on ecological footprint work spearheaded by York University in collaboration with other academic, civic and private organizations. The group has successfully obtained a multi-year $2.5 million grant to apply knowledge about carbon and ecological footprints to actions that will make a difference in combating climate change. This opens the door for Rotarians to work with renowned global experts in,, firstly, estimating the carbon emissions and Ecological Footprint of communities in which they live and, secondly, establish partnerships to engage in impactful actions. Nilam Bedi will be working with the project team in the coming months to develop the exact nature of Rotary’s participation.
The EAC will be happy to hear from clubs needing assistance or guidance on their involvement in environmental activities. Please contact Nilam Bedi at nilam.bedi@gmail.com
