This past week, e3 Solutions partnered with Seneca College in launching their Green Citizen Campaign.  The campaign was organized by Bill Humber, Director of the Office of Eco Initiatives at Seneca.  The event, held at Seneca's new LEED Gold certified building, featured a keynote speech by Andrew Bowerbank, former head of the World Green Building Council.  He was thanked by J.P. Brown, a graduate of Seneca's Green Business Management program, currently working as an analyst at e3 Solutions.

The day also included a screening of Mark Terry's The Polar Explorer, a documentary on the state of the polar ice caps, and an address by Dr. Gail Krantzberg of McMaster University on the effect of invasive species in waterways.  Mike Nickerson, author of Life, Money and Illusion, gave the final talk.  Representatives from Walmart Canada and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation were also present to promote their environmental initiatives.

All student attendees received a Green Citizen Card in recognition of their pledge to support environmental awareness in their lives and future careers.  Said Seneca College President David Agnew, "Students will leave this conference with the commitment and tools to help build a sustainable world.”
