 Sustainability Community Breakfast -  Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
•    Event: Metro Vancouver’s Sustainability Community Breakfasts is a series of monthly breakfast meetings that support the Sustainable Region Initiative. They provide an opportunity to build networks and partnerships and to increase awareness. This month’s topic is the Eco-certifications, eco-labels, eco-logos - what do they mean?   An increasing number of consumers expect assurances that green products and services are in fact more sustainable than competing offerings. What is the difference between a product with an eco-logo versus an eco-certification?  Who monitors to ensure standards are maintained? Can you trust what you buy? Do eco-logos and labels help raise the bar for more sustainable practices? Is there a business case for eco-labels? Please join us to hear presentations and engage in a dynamic discussion with local experts:  Mike McDermid, Program Manager, Ocean Wise, Vancouver Aquarium,  Lloyd Bernhardt, President, Ethical Bean Fair Trade Coffee and others TBC
