Tipping Point: The Age of the Oil Sands is a two-hour visual tour de force, taking viewers inside the David and Goliath struggle playing out within one of the most compelling environmental issues of our time.

In an oil-scarce world, we know there are sacrifices to be made in the pursuit of energy. What no one expected was that a tiny Native community downriver from Canada’s oil sands would reach out to the world, and be heard.

Telling stories has always been a way of passing along knowledge and values.  Eco Sense is a modern day story of a blended family that purposely moved towards living sustainably within the social norms of our modern day culture, and did so in balance with the surrounding eco-system.

This webinar was not just a story of the house, presently referred to as the "The World's Greenest Modern House"; it is about the story of how Ann and Gord Baird got there, how they harnessed the power of sustainable technologies with justice and reverence, the work they are doing on policy and code, the research, and their lifestyle. You'll find this a fascinating and inspiring glimpse of a future we now know can exist.

Energy conservation is the first essential step in reducing energy demand and limiting our environmental impact.

Commercial and residential buildings are responsible for about 40% of our energy use and more than a third of our greenhouse gas emissions. Improving the energy performance of buildings is a cost-effective way of fighting climate change, improving energy security, and stimulating local job creation.

In this Energy Solutions Webinar, we will learn how to benefit from energy audits and retrofits in both residential and commercial buildings.
