Concerned? Opinionated? Hopeful? Is there an issue, event, an innovation, or a movement that has caught your interest? If so... BLOG about it!
IRIS has created a space on its website for students to write about issues and events that interests, frustrates or intrigues them. As a sustainable, interdisciplinary research center, IRIS is seeking out pieces which address topics related to the economic, social, and/or natural environment. The piece should be focused on one or more of these three environmental spheres.
In terms of guidelines, the following should be considered:
- The blog should be related to sustainability
- There is no word limit, but you should aim for no more than 400 words
- The subject is not limited to York University
- The blog must respect the guidelines set out in York University’s Student Code of Conduct and Hate Propaganda Guidelines
There are very few restrictions on this blog space- so feel free to get creative! For some blogging tips, you can visit this website for some helpful ideas. You can also check out the current pieces students have contributed.
To learn more about how to contribute, or to send in a blog please e-mail us at irisatyork@gmail.com.

I am providing you with a link to a site i have created. This site contains an action plan, whose aim is to create economically sustainable futures for all canadians. My name is Daniel Brennan, as a person in poverty, bouncing from one dead-end job to another, i know first hand that the key to self-sustainability lies in housing. This action plan teamed with education provides options for empowering those in poverty with hope. My goal is to make productive, self-sustainable citizens through an economically responsible action plan. Thank you so much for your time.
