Description

Re-energizing Ottawa: Better Communities through Better Approaches to Energy

presented by David Chernushenko

David will explore how we use energy in the built environment, and how we can revitalize our communities with intelligent integrated design that improves mobility, reduces energy consumption and promotes healthier living conditions, all of this while encouraging greater civic engagement. David will use examples from and even some "sneak preview" material from his upcoming film, "Powerful: Energy for Everyone".

David Chernushenko is a communicator, writer and filmmaker working to explain and promote sustainable development and living lightly.
