Dr. Beth Savan is a world renowned leader in the practice of environmental sustainability. While the topic of the environment is much discussed by many, if not most, Canadians, Beth has spent the last 25 years actually doing something about these issues. The examples she gives of projects from the University of Toronto, are now having wider effects on other institutions, and more importantly on the generation of students currently going through a transformative period in their lives. One lesson I pulled from our conversation, is that knowledge exchange happens in many forms; most powerfully however, in face-to-face learning that is also supported by web-accessible information and institutional enablers. I was inspired and hopeful after this interview. I hope that you are too.
