Kudo's !! Kudo's to Cermaq Canada (Campbell River, BC - Canada) who is reporting that they have cut over 76,000 kg of CO2 emissions from their operations in 2021 using a new aeration technology supplied by Poseidon Ocean Systems. Poseidon Ocean Systems (Poseidon) is a Canadian full-service aquaculture engineering and technology provider. Poseidon specializes in saltwater aquaculture infrastructure and life support design, engineering, product development, and supply. The company is headquartered in Campbell River, British Columbia. For more information on Poseidon, visit www.PoseidonOS.com The reduction in emissions was the result of trialing Poseidon’s new Flowpressor™ aeration compressor systems at two of Cermaq’s 16 operational farm sites in British Columbia. The trial took place at the Simmonds Point and Wehlis Bay farms from May through November 2021, and involved using Flowpressors to power Cermaq’s standard Harmful Algae Bloom systems instead of conventional diesel compr...

My maternal grandfather began the business in 1961 in the back of the barn where they lived.  My father joined the busi...

Kudos !!  I'm sure most of our readers have heard of the concept of businesses and even entire countries purchasing carbon offset credits. This is done to put a value on the positive improvements others are doing, selling that credit to those who cannot yet make the transition to sustainability. It is a way of encouraging people to make the change and taking responsibilities for their own actions.  There are many ways to do this however today, I'd like to highlight the carbon credits available through TerraPass.com . They have created credits by choosing to use energy efficient equipment and lighting systems and going as paper-free as possible. The company also utilizes compost and recycle activities, but going beyond that they also reuse shipping and packaging.  The company's blog offers news and ideas about sustainable living, they plant trees via their partnership with Trees for the Future Foundation and they have made numerous efforts to offer green-living products a...

Kudos A big shout out today for all those providers of "to go" items who are taking every effort possible to make the world a better place by choosing a greener packaging option.  Recently, a local pet shop ( https://www.kootenaypetstop.ca /) left us with a little gift - a bag of " Northern Dog Biscuit Company' s "chicken poutine biscuits for dogs. We were surprised and grateful for their little gift... they are a very warm and respectful local pet supply business that offers delivery to your door at no cost and online shopping as an option as well. They have a great supply of toys for dogs and, yes, I always get a couple every time I order food.  So as I'm looking at the packaging for the dog treats, feeding the very grateful dogs, I notice it is a Canadian company with all natural ingredients. I'm thinking ... "cool" :). But then I turn it over to the other side and read that the bag and liner is made "entirely of plant based materials a...

Product Review Hemp Socks Jesse Clymer of  HempAuthority.com sent us several different items for review, so I decided to split them into groups and offer a series of 3 review articles  * Watch for them on  April 7th  ,  April 21st   (today)  and  May 8 th . Interestingly, I realized that back in 2013 I had taken on another review project for this company; which you can find HERE . If you are interested in more products in this genre, here is a different review on hemp products that I did in 2018 for the  Choose Natural store. As you can see, hemp can be made into just about anything from surfboards and hemp flooring, to the hemp djembe (hand drum) my husband   Dave makes. One quick look at the  HempAuthority.com   site shows they offer a wide variety of items; clothing and accessories, natural beauty products, pain management and hemp hearts – aka hulled seeds. By the way - Have you ever tried hemp seed or...

Product Review Beaded Hemp Jewelry Jesse Clymer, from HempAuthority.com ,  connected with me recently (February 25) inquiring about our review policies and within a short time he had arranged for a package of items to come our way. The package arrived just 12 days later (March 6 th ).  The exterior and interior bags were recyclable and there was no excess packaging inside. I’d like to mention here that it’s been a pleasure working with Jesse on this project – he’s professional and follows through quickly.  Jesse chose to send a variety of products, so I decided to split them into groups and offer a series of 3 seperate review articles instead of one very long one. * Watch for them on April 7th (today), April 21st and May 8 th . I resonated with this US company’s mission: “providing global quality-of-life by providing our customers quality and affordable products using innovative and sustainable business practices and encouraging the shift to m...
