hanging behaviours when it comes to our daily practices is key to building resilience in the face of climate change. Our youth are in the best place to form new and long-lasting habits – and green audits at youth-serving agencies are helping to bring awareness and change.
Cue ‘Rotten Broccoli’ a.k.a. Josep Seras Gubert, Sustainability Project Coordinator with the Green Action Centre. This Winnipeg-based non-profit promotes green living through environmental education and practical solutions and is conducting the audits. “‘Rotten Broccoli’ is my nature name,” Seras Gubert tells the 10 kids gathered at a waste reduction demonstration held in early March at Art City, a community art studio dedicated to providing space and tools for people to express themselves creatively. This waste demonstration is just one part of a green audit, which also ‘Rotten Broccoli’ a.k.a. Josep Seras Gubert at Art City. Photo taken March 12, 2020.
