Global Warming is Not Proven
People used to think the world was flat. The difference between that Scientific Era and this time is that the survival of the biosphere on the planet was not at risk then. Today, individual and societal decisions matter, and Canada is in a position to take a leadership role in the world.

Credibility in the Marketplace
Where in the world of black and white (& green) does grey fit in?
Many companies are beginning to see the market potential of the new, earth conscious consumer. Some are making sure they look right by offering some “green” products in their line up of goods and services. How should a consumer feel if 5% of company x’s offerings are sustainable products but the other 95% don’t apply. Should this be perceived as a step in the right direction or hypocrisy? How can one judge whether or not the company plans to increase the green percentage or wants to cash in on an eager market?

Toronto’s Water Efficiency Plan
Toronto’s Water Efficiency Plan
Did you know that in the City of Toronto, the average residential water use is about 253 litres per person per day? With every litre of water pumped weighing 1 kilogram, that’s a tonne of water needed for a family of four each day. Compare that with the 1.23 billion litres per day of water that must be supplied to all residents and businesses in the city. With a population of 2.59 million residents, that amounts to 77 million toilet flushes a day.

The Colour of Light
Compact fluorescents are great in many ways but I want to find one that emits similar colours to a tungsten bulb. I have experimented with many varieties of CF’s but even the ones describing warm natural tones, all seem too green to my eyes. I’ve heard similar complaints from numerous clients and interested folk but haven’t found the solution.
