For our first official episode back, we're exploring the complexities of eco grief. We spoke with students on the Mount Royal University (MRU) campus and learned what they knew (or didn't know) about eco grief. Later, we sat down with Amy Spark, a Program Specialist at the Alberta Ecotrust Foundation, and showed her our student's responses to learn more about navigating eco grief in a busy, often overwhelming world. So get cosy, grab a blanket, and settle in!

This semester, season two is housed at Mount Royal University, situated on an ancient and storied land steeped in ceremony and history that, until recently, was occupied exclusively by people indigenous to this place.

Welcome back to Spot On Sustainability, where we put Calgary’s best and brightest sustainability ideas on your radar. Last season, we dove into a plethora of topics, from fast fashion, waste that's often overlooked, and sustainable swaps.

We are thrilled to be back for season two, where we hope to uncover more sustainability efforts in YYC. We can't wait to show you what's in store and what developments we discover on our journey to a sustainable community.

In every episode, we’ll take you inside Calgary’s universities and labs to hear from students, professors, and innovators who are changing the way we live - through science, ideas, and fresh perspectives. Stay tuned for our season two premiere episode this February!

Welcome to the inaugural episode on Spot On: Sustainability, where we explore sustainability initiatives at universities across Calgary. This semester, we’re starting at Mount Royal University (MRU).

Meet our host Abi, our producer Bella, and our editor Julianna - they’ll be guides shining a spotlight on sustainability initiatives at the MRU campus and beyond!

Sustainable swaps are something that are easy for anyone to implement - so we’re taking to the streets (and our own recording studio) to hear from students and staff at MRU about the changes they’ve made to be more sustainable in their daily lives. Whether it’s using public transport, thrifting clothes, using refillable toiletries, or embracing vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics, there’s so many options that you can integrate into your daily life without causing yourself too much stress. We also highlight MRU's commitment to sustainability through LEED-certified buildings and sustainable communication. Get inspired to make a positive impact on your environment!
