After 2 months of ideation and project development through collaboration with institutions, community partners and lighter footprint experts, the inaugural Envirolab cohort came up with 6 diverse projects that address on issues relating to lighter footprint in the Metro Vancouver area and beyond. Our 6 unique teams presented their project ideas to a panel of sustainability experts and the greater community in early December at our public pitch event, showcasing the amazing work young people are taking on with regards to lighter footprint. To see the innovation lab process and hear what our participants have to say, check out the Envirolab video below with more information.
Co-leidoscope provides newcomers with sustainability education tailored to their location, knowledge gaps and interests in a way that is accessible, inclusive and interactive.
We also hope to be able to incorporate and share their lived experiences and stories around sustainability.
