Yesterday we visited Bhat-Bhateni Super Store and stumbled upon a brand new environmental initiative.

Bhat-Bhateni is now encouraging shoppers to use re-usable plastic bags and is also selling re-usable branded bags. I quickly visited the Bhat-Bhateni web site and found their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) page which says:

“By saving the woodland caribou’s remaining Boreal Forest habitat,
we’ll also help protect one of the world’s largest natural carbon
reserves and slow the effects of climate change.”

I'll be a media panelist and a mentor at GLOBE 2008 - Special Emerging Leaders Workshop for Youth 18-25. If anyone is going to this event, feel free to drop by and say hi.

More information about the day is listed below....

thegreenmedia.ca is a celebration of inspiring motion pictures and documentary films (and
of course the best short-clips from the web). Thumbs up or thumbs down,
we want to know what your reviews are.

I am proud to announce a new search engine called thegreensearch.ca.
(www.thegreensearch.ca)

Through the power of Google, thegreenpages.ca network has created a specialized search engine that searches Canadian environment-related web sites. Rather than searching the entire web, your search yields "green" results from across Canada and around the world. Use it as a research tool, or keep up to date on the latest news, events, and trends happening in our environment.

The environment has been a "hot topic" (pardon the pun) lately. In almost every media outlet (web sites, newspapers, newscast etc.) there is always a section or segment about what we can do to lessen our impact on our environment or how we are ruining it for our children. CTV is running a week-long ecological footprint segment this week, the Globe and Mail and the CBC both have climate change sections on their web sites, and every magazine has a "Green Issue" or eco-lifestyle theme (are they really "green" or is it just "green wash" ?).

I would like to help the people in my community and across Canada become inspired by other individuals who have made a difference in their community and towards environmental sustainability. Similar to this initiative, I decided to start my own collection of success stories from across Canada - a library or archive of environmental information.
