I don't think much needs to be done in this area. There is lots of great information out there already on best practices, and it's difficult to segment it and bring it all into one spot.
I just look at our own site. We operate one of the most energy efficient buildings in the world. We have an online tour of that building, featuring energy and water, green office space, and a whole bunch of different areas. Even trying to figure out how to make that interesting for all those different audiences is difficult enough when it's still all just about a building, and to add conservation, transportation, and all these other things, to me, can't be brought into one spot.

Great.
And to our representative from Olds College, perhaps you could give us your thoughts as well on overall context.

Ms. Rempel, I think what the previous guests have mentioned, and Mr. Kendall specifically, is that there is so much out there right now that you can really access. Whether you want to portal it through one website by the government...that might be helpful. It reduces the search times. My students would love it, so they're not all over the place trying to find things. But there's a lot of information out there, and it doesn't take that long to pin down certain aspects that you're looking for.
