Take Action
We can make a difference. We just need to take action. Here’s one idea:
Encourage Saskatoon City Council to follow the City of Toronto’s guidelines for greening surface parking lots (e.g. landscaping and trees, storm water management on site).
Thumbs Up
A city-wide composting program may soon be introduced. In the meantime, be sure to sign up for the Green Cart program.
Thumbs Down
Fracking may have caused earthquakes in Ohio – what can we expect in Saskatchewan?
