Nancy Larivière is facilitating the Children’s: Exploratory Workshop: Atelier Nature et bien-être | Outdoor guided activity for older children and youth— Saturday, October 14, 10:00 a.m.
Nancy Larivière is passionate by circular economy, sustainability and community development. She has 15 years of experience in Community health promotion. One thing she really likes about her permaculture backyard is being able to harvest plants and preparing delicious meals and medicines anytime of the year. There is always something to harvest somewhere.
What is the circular economy? The circular economy is a different way of doing business. The way our economies extract, use, then dispose of resources is putting pressure on our natural systems, communities, and public health. This is a linear economy—it moves in a straight line from resource extraction to waste disposal. Read more here from the Government of Canada….
Nancy Larivière est passionnée par l’économie circulaire, la durabilité et le développement communautaire. Elle a 15 ans d’expérience en promotion de la santé communautaire. Ce qu’elle aime vraiment dans son jardin en permaculture, c’est la possibilité de récolter des plantes et de préparer des repas et des médicaments délicieux à tout moment de l’année. Il y a toujours quelque chose à récolter quelque part.
Qu’est-ce que l’économie circulaire? L’économie circulaire est une façon différente de mener nos activités. La façon dont nos économies extraient, utilisent, puis éliminent les ressources exerce une pression sur nos systèmes naturels, nos collectivités et la santé publique. Il s’agit d’une économie linéaire – elle évolue en ligne droite de l’extraction des ressources à l’élimination des déchets. Plus d’information du gouvernement du Canada…
