Michael is on a quest to get his environmental footprint as low as humanly possible, so he built his own off-grid tiny house. But he doesn’t know if all the downsizing and minimizing make a difference. He feels in over his head! It’s time to bring in the experts. Join Michael as he sits down with scientists, policymakers, industry leaders, and environmental experts to figure out how to effectively reduce his footprint, while also exploring the bigger questions around sustainability and the good life.

Remembering Alberta Parks: Conservation in Kananaskis

Historically, what is the ecological significance of Kananaskis? What development concerns have arisen in the past, and what can people do to ensure this space is managed appropriately?

Michael explores these questions with Executive Director of CPAWS Southern Alberta Katie Morrison. They cover the ecological recognition of Kananaskis in the 1940s, the establishment of the Kananaskis country concept in the 1970s, CPAWS involvement in challenging development projects in the 1990s, and more.
