Summer is here, bringing with it a softer, slower pace. The well-being that can come from slowing down our daily lives can make us question our priorities and maybe consider less hectic lifestyles. Reducing our consumption, for example, can provide a number of unexpected benefits. Try slowing down, and you’ll see 🙂
Food
My farmers nourish me, and I support them
We all need food: We rely on our family farmers to provide us with local organic food, but they face many challenges every season in order to do so.
A commitment: They work hard, despite these challenges, in a manner that is respectful of their agricultural land. To continue eating their healthy food, we need to support them.
From waste to value: how to recover and reuse materials
Reuse: A lot of materials get thrown away in construction. What if we could give them a second (or third) life? Reusing is a great way to make your projects more environmentally responsible. Give it a try!
Think local: Resources, materials, expertise and creativity are often much closer than you think. Talk to your network and have a look at our resources before starting your project.
What does the Competition Act have to do with environmental issues?
Have you heard of greenwashing? It's a marketing technique to create an illusion of ecological responsibility, when a company’s practices prove otherwise.
To level the playing field: Canada’s Competition Act can help tip the scales in favour of the companies that are sincere in their efforts to reduce the environmental impact of their business.
