The June 17th Green TEA Speakers Night (recently dubbed "Speaking Green") was a bit longer than our usual format but it was also an eye-opener and well worth the extra 45 minutes according to guests I spoke with at the end.
Lee Norton shared his presentation "The Climate Disruption", an update on stats covered in Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth - and the truth is.....we need to act and maybe faster than we thought. Lee left me feeling even more committed to making a difference.
Jennifer Wright spoke from the heart about why she started GreenShift, her green consulting firm. And left many of us inspired to talk to our employers about "shifting" in the green direction. Jennifer gave us hope. You can have a look at their consulting services and products at http://www.greenshift.ca/
And Ryan Fabi, Director of Environment Health and Safety at Bolton's Husky Injection Molding, gave us........even more hope. Now you have to admit that in these times plastic is not everyone's favourite word........but, as consumers, we've given it huge support in our marketplace, or, of course, it wouldn't exist. Yet, as a supplier of injection molding systems to the plastics industry, Husky has recognized it's environmental impact and implemented an array of programs, supplier requirements, and best practices to ensure that they are doing all they can to be environmentally responsible and negate, wherever possible, their own carbon footprint.
"Proactive Environmental Responsibility" ........Husky has made it their core value.....GreenShift is helping companies and residents live up to it......Lee Norton showed us what will happen if we don't..........
