Let’s Talk About...Food is an exciting and engaging webseries that answers our basic food questions through exploring various conscious food businesses and movements in Toronto.

Sustainability un-University is fueled by the belief that the expertise and resources required to meet carbon reduction goals already exist within our community; the gap that we see results from an inability to connect knowledge seekers with knowledge holders in a way that facilitates meaningful learning. This project fills this gap with an affordable, convenient, simple, learner-oriented online platform that empowers teachers and students. It blends the rigour of the ivory tower with DIY entrepreneurialism, while acting as a springboard for discussion, advocacy, and innovation.
