Top 10 Winter Eco-Actions
Green Action Centre staff members offer up the top 10 things we do to leave a lighter footprint (and have a lot of fun) in winter!
Do you EcoPass?
Commuting Ambassadors from local workplaces share their top tips for running a successful transit EcoPass program.
The 4R Depot is open!
At long last, Winnipeg's first one-stop shop for all things recyclable (and reusable) is open. Still a bit of a hike to the Brady landfill but cool nonetheless. Word has it a second depot will open on Pacific Ave later this year.
Composting at home
Want to start backyard composting this spring? Take in a how-to presentation in March. It's free. It's local. What more can we say? Oh yeah, sign up today.

News and Tips!
Environmental Forum - Provincial Election
Mark your calendar for the upcoming Environmental Forum on Tuesday, March 8th. Find out where the provincial parties stand on sustainability. More details to be posted soon!
Civic responsibility: for 27 cents per day
We get that some backyard composters bristle at the thought of paying for curbside organic pickup. But the sad fact is that only 23% of Winnipeggers compost their kitchen waste. Could 27 cents per day improve that rate?
See ya later, Jack Frost!
Partying for Compost Winnipeg at Alpine Chill
Over $10,000 was raised at the 4th Annual Snowball thanks to organizer extraordinaire Amber van den Broek, along with many volunteers, performers and generous partiers. The monies will go towards a cargo trailer and electric bike for Compost Winnipeg, our social enterprise. Kudos to everyone on such an amazing, fun event! (Photo credit: Pepper Apple Photography)
