Folks: I have a sneaking suspicion this is a duplication of an earlier request, but a search of the GEP-ED archive isn't revealing a thread on the theme so ....
I've been chatting with a couple of colleagues (Wayne Morris and Scott Nicholson), who are involved with local community activities, and the game design programs at Wilfrid Laurier, about simulation exercises designed to engage people in climate action. How do local communities think through their own activities but then, forgive the cliche, "take it to the next level", either from municipalities up to national governments, or to larger scale activities? Our assumption is that there are at least some such simulation exercises going the rounds, but it would be very helpful if you could let us know of ones you know of, or have used, whether in teaching or community activities. As per usual practice on this list-serve please send me the response, not to the whole group, and I will compile the answers and post them as a single message a few weeks hence. However it would really help if you could also copy my two colleagues on your message to me: fmor...@wlu.ca, scott.nichol...@wlu.ca (The backdrop to this is of course the new provincial government in Ontario, with Premier Doug Ford who seems to be determined to replicate the Trump playbook on demolishing regulations of anything environmental, regardless of the consequences. Years of hard work by environmental and climate activists are being rapidly undone by the Ford government and effective responses are urgently needed.) Thanks in advance.
