Perspectives on the film Age of Stupid

In October 2009, Alberta Acts helped to organize a showing of Age of Stupid in Calgary. We asked three opinion leaders to share their perspectives following the film.

We asked Dr. Frances Bowen, Director of the International Resource Industries & Sustainability Centre at the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business, "How is business uniquely positioned to take on the challenges of climate change? How do we encourage business to do what it can?"

 

We asked Natalie Odd, executive director of the Green Calgary Association, "What is the best way for citizens to take action on climate change?"

 

We asked Gwendolyn Blue, assistant professor in the University of Calgary's Faculty of Culture and Communication, "How do we best communicate with others to engage them in the climate change challenge?"
