I am pleased to be a partner this year with the Canada Blooms “Backyard Ecotopia” display team. This year’s booth theme is “Choices for Sustainable Living” and involves many partners. Please see http://www.canadablooms.com/ It is truly inspiring to work with the partners (list will be added when finalized) in planning, integrating components, sharing ideas and sharing resources.
From a planning point of view, the 4 “R’s” are paramount. The 4th R being Really think. It is most relevant to our efforts. What is the impact of what we are doing? What is our message and who do we wish to influence with that message?
As far as what we are doing – we are reusing materials from previous show years. We have sourced materials with high recycled content (e.g. Enviroshake). We have secured wood from sustainable managed forests (Forest Stewardship Council – FSC). We have selected good materials for reuse again. E.g. Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
What is our message and who is it being addressed to? There are many good green choices to be made. We can use solid environmental solutions together with each other. We can be inspired, with the knowledge that going green is not a severe belt tightening. Going green can be beautiful, can save money and be the right thing to do.
Come see us at the Metro Convention Centre Mar. 12 -16.
