My interview with @persephonebrewing details how their #farmtobeer #craftbrewery operations work. An incredible example of #sustainability on the #sunshinecoast #bc #canada. All #waste #water is cycled back into their #agricultural operations!!! #socool (at Gibsons, British Columbia)

Working on a short video for a post due out tomorrow. It's been 30 years since the #unitednations #brundtlandcommision agreed on the definition of #sustainabledevelopment but the three dimensions of #sustainability are not integrated enough. I'm outlining some examples of how to do it right. #myzerowastelunch #kleankanteen #macbookair (at Toronto, Ontario)

Need some help, looking for more examples of products or packaging where it says something like "Please Reuse" and not just "recycle". #sustyorbust #reduce #reuse #repurpose #refurbish #recycle #zerowaste #zerowastehome #zerowastelifestyle #environmentallyfriendly #greenliving

Wild bees are good for crops, but are crops bad for bees?

Without honeybees, our grocery stores and dinner tables would be pretty barren.

Monoculture farming — growing a single crop in a field — increasingly depends on importing thousands of hives (by truck, usually) to pollinate crops.

Focusing on a single crop creates a very simplified diet for these pollinators. It’s also risky to rely on only one species of pollinators (honeybees) to do the job — especially when it has a number of health issues, including colony collapse disorder.

Claire Kremen, a conservation biologist at UC Berkeley, explains why we should start using native pollinators (birds, moths, wild bees) as part of a more sustainable farming practice.

Had to kill 5 trees just to have enough information to write about environmental sustainability. Ironic, right?
