EcoSherpa » Announcements Funding For Young Eco-Innovators Last year I wrote a post announcing a funding/support opportunity for college students interested in starting some sort of (on-campus)environmentally/socially responsible venture. Well, I received an e-mail yesterday from Michael Del Ponte, President and CEO of Conscious Lifestyle, letting me know that the opportunity was once again available. Here is an info blurb he included [...] More... Brand New Garden Girl Site Back in August I wrote a post announcing that Patti ‘Garden Girl’ Moreno was once again back on the green gardening scene (she seemed to be MIA for a number of months), and was partnering with Farmers Almanac for future editions of her Urban Sustainable Living video series. At the time, her website was looking [...] More... My New Website I mentioned last month (ie in one of my most-recent posts! lol) that main coverage of my Winter Composting Extravaganza is going to occur on a ‘secret‘ website – which of course was only ‘secret’ because I wasn’t ready to make it public yet. I’ve been slowly working on it in fits and spurts for [...] More... Breaking the Silence! Note to self: STOP saying that EcoSherpa is going to be a lot more active “soon”! Sheesh! You’d think I’d have learned my lesson by now. It seems as though every time I apologize for our inactivity on the blog and promise things will be getting better, we actually head in the opposite direction! Oh [...] More... Environment TV Network? Just a quick note. I’m a member of the Ontario Environment Network e-mail list and just received some interesting news. I don’t think they’ll mind me posting it here: Aside from these developments state side, the parent company of The Weather Network has submitted an application for a new TV channel, The Environment Network. This [...] More... David Suzuki Talk A quick heads-up for our Ontario (Canada) readers (or anyone else who feels like making a trip to Toronto). We received notification that there are still tickets available for David Suzuki’s upcoming talk at Royal St. George’s College. Here are the details: David Suzuki: Solutions are in Our Nature Monday, October 29th Doors open at [...] More... Planet in Peril – New CNN Documentary Powered by AOL Video On a more serious note (as compared to my Blog Action Day post, that is) – I just wanted to let everyone know about an upcoming CNN documentary called “Planet in Peril”, which will be airing next Tuesday and Wednesday (October 23 and 24). Above is a 24 minute exerpt from [...] More... Blog Action Day and the Art of Procrastination I am indeed the ultimate master of procrastination! I first heard about Blog Action Day back in the middle of August. I planned to join and to write about it here right away – didn’t happen. Rather ironic, given the name of the event, don’t you think? I watched as more and more people made [...] More... Women of the Earth Contest We recently received this msg in an email – sounded interesting so I thought I’d post it here (I added the image) For the third year in a row, the Yves Rocher Foundation is launching its Women of the Earth contest. This contest offers three prizes for a total of 15 000$, to women who [...] More... Gigoit – Now Available in Canada and... Just a quick follow-up to a post I wrote at the end of January. I received word from Peter Schmalfeldt (president) today that Gigoit is now officially available in Canada and the UK (was only available in US previously)! Not surprisingly, there doesn’t seem to be all that much available in Canada at the moment, [...] More... Articles last updated at May 25, 2013 13:02:04pm. Next update in 60 minutes.
