We all know about the plastic bag horror stories. We are trying to reduce those numbers by charging for plastic bags and encouraging the use of re-usable carrying bags. But still billions are: polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfill.

How small town Canada is going green. It’s a real source of inspiration for the green movement how smaller towns, communities and municipalities are establishing and remaining remarkably committed to green initiatives. They say every little bit helps and it’s true.

How the City of Toronto is greening its fleet of public vehicles. We’re never really sure just how much municipal governments are really contributing to the green movement. But we do know they generally react to public pressure.

The One Million Acts of Green Site, sponsored by Cisco Systems is a really good example of how big business is getting behind the green movement. Not so sure what the CBC has to do with any of this, but there you go. It’s an interesting and informative link nonetheless.

Go Green is one of those places where you can go and get lost for a couple of hours and always come away with more green knowledge than you had going in. And not just factual knowledge but stuff you can use every day to become a more responsible citizen on planet earth. You can also find out what’s going on around the world, because new green ideas are popping up everywhere.
Go Green should definitely be on everybody’s favs list. It’s on our her at OGD. In fact, we consider it kind of a bible. Make sure to visit and bookmark Go Green. It’s one of the best there is.

This article comes to us courtesy of @greenforyou via the twittersphere. Check it out. Panasonic’s advertising slogan is ‘Ideas for life’. Looks like they are living up to it. Let’s all hope this is an idea that catches on. Panasonic plans to focus on solar products #green http://bit.ly/72uMPi

Co-Burning to lower carbon emissions
Co-burning of natural fuels with traditional carbon based fuels is something companies have been doing in Europe for a few years now. Nice to see it’s finally starting to catch on here. This might be a good piece to send to your local political boss and see if he wants to score some points with his or her ‘green’ constituents.
