With support from Cando, (Council for the Advancement of Native Development Officers), Beyond Green has redesigned its website to create three websites focused on Sustainability and Equity. The first is the maintenance of the legacy BeyondGreenConsulting.com website which will direct users to two new course websites
The primary focus of GoingGreentoSaveGreen.com is the Going Green to Save Green energy efficiency course that helps people develop their financial analysis skills on energy efficiency. By teaching the Math of Conservation, Beyond Green hopes, that students from those in Grades 7 – 12 to non-technical economic development officers to members of the general public can become more comfortable with evaluating energy efficiency savings opportunities. If people have a firm understanding of the financial benefits of going green then they would be more likely to act to live more sustainably.
The series teaches the MATH of energy conservation, which are steps required to execute an energy savings opportunity.
- Measure your energy use,
- Analyze where you are using too much energy,
- Target a project for energy reduction, and then
- Hone-In on new opportunities as they make sense.
Then with the tools to analyze the energy savings opportunities of new technologies users will be able to make better decisions and more importantly, more and faster decisions, to save energy and reduce their environmental footprint.
Inclusion and Equity are the focus of the second course featured on the BeyondGreenProductions.com website. The Systemic Injustice Course follows segments of Beyond Green’s documentary Systemic Injustice which examines Beyond Green’s own Brad Gallant’s fight against Indigenous mascots and the Canadian culture of Indigenous racism that he encountered. The removal of mascots creates more inclusive environments for Indigenous people and the process of forcing the removal demands equality for Indigenous culture in society. Check out the course.
ABOUT
produces Sustainability and Equity Education Materials. Beyond Green is a 100% Indigenous-owned company founded by Brad Gallant in Mississauga, Ontario in 2010.
In 2013, Beyond Green started producing the “Going Green To $ave Green” energy efficiency video series. The video series focuses on sustainability and equity education and can help teach energy efficiency via the “MATH of Conservation” in schools.
Starting in 2014, Brad used his experience in the Human Rights Process to advocate for the removal of Indigenous Mascots and the racism they promote. Shocked by the profound culture of Indigenous Racism in Canada perpetuated by Mascots, Beyond Green produced the documentary “Systemic Injustice” to explain how mascots contribute to racism.
