Action for our environment

Rose-coloured glasses are so yesterday. Today, being “hip” and “with it” denotes green glasses, or better yet, sight greened without external paraphernalia. All the cool people choose the Toyota Prius as their first car. All hipsters, no matter how perfectly manicured their nails, play in the dirt by composting, or vermicomposting if they don’t have [...]

Green is Obsolete

Environmental issues got you down on this enviro-themed blog-action day? Maybe it’s time to stop trying to see the world in green.

Radiohead and Klezmer

Yes, this is a post about Environment for Blog Action Day. You’ll see, I’m getting there.

Finally, an enviro-film premiere I could attend!

The Montreal World Film Festival sees many a film, but this year’s edition was, for me, all about The Green Chain — a new mockumentary making its world premiere here in my fair city. While I would surely have gone to see the film regardless, a few factors made the screening all the more exciting [...]

Actors meet activists, or activists meet other activists?

Unless you’ve been living in a hole, deep underground, you must be at least aware that a new high-profile environmental documentary will soon hit theaters: Leonardo DiCaprio’s The 11th Hour. After last week’s L.A. premiere of the film, an endless array of articles emerged in newspapers across Canada and the US, and those that focused [...]

Good news for people who like bikes

So yesterday, when my boss plunked down a bunch of newspaper clippings on my desk about a new bike loan system on Avenue Mount Royal, I thought: Great News! Twenty bikes will be available all summer, free of charge, at the information booth in front of Mount Royal metro.

It seems that Green may very well be the new Black..
