-- Green Holiday - Green Gift Ideas --  Holiday gift giving has changed quite a bit over the last few years, as people have less money to spend and are more aware of the impact their purchases have on both the environment and society… and there are a heck of a lot of holidays to consider from birthdays, secretary day, anniversaries, and Halloween to Valentines. The collective impact of these special days can be huge.  Christmas alone is responsible for 25% more waste being sent to landfills. By recognizing the incredible waste that is generated the urgency to do something becomes apparent. With this in mind, we are offering several Green Gift related and Green Events related articles (Look for them between: late Oct-mid-Dec). this is the 4th article in the series, so far.  People are now embracing practical, ecological gifts that can provide some form convenience or financial benefit. At the same time, it is nice to find ways to alleviate the guilt felt during special day...

 --  Gift Idea -- The holidays are fast approaching and now that people are spending a lot of time indoors it is, perhaps, a good time to consider giving books for Christmas and upcoming holidays over the winter season. As such I'd like to suggest this book below for several reasons. First of course, book purchases support our work. Second, this book will make a real and measurable difference for the recipient.  Rhythm & Rhyme - Poetry BrummetMedia.ca Dave and Lillian Brummet share their individual writing styles that express their passions and real life experiences. While Lillian experiments with various styles of poetry, most of Dave's poems in this book were in fact initially written as song lyrics. You'll find that the poetry in this book reflects on the emotional turmoil of ailing parents and the grief of their passing. Some will speak of the strange emptiness left behind when old wounds are healed and others celebrate life, love, animals and nature with a good s...

Kudo's Despite the cultural misconception that cities are horrible environments where no wildlife can thrive, in a world where more than 1 million species are at risk of extinction, we are seeing that larger corporations are now embracing more than energy and resource efficiency endeavours. Cities are creating more green spaces, residents are participating in a variety of ways, business are rising to the challenge and schools are jumping on board too.  Green roofs, green screens, green walls, backyard gardens, indoor gardens, hanging baskets, tree planting and balcony gardens all play a huge role in nature coming back to the city. These little green islands have helped butterflies, birds and pollinators survive, and in some cases - recover and thrive. There's a hotel I want to mention (I've forgotten the name of it now) located in Singapore, where they have built a huge, beautiful tiered outdoor garden space that their staff and clients enjoy in person or by viewing it from...
