Enviroresponsible
When we first received an email from Chad Pescod, owner of Enviroresponsible Inc, I was a tad skeptical to be totally honest. We get a lot of e-mails requesting links or suggesting we write an article about this and that (and the other thing), so I figured his email was no different.
My skepticism probably tripled [...]
Harmony Organic Milk
On a recent visit to Brady’s Meat & Deli, (located in Waterloo, Ontario), I came across some organic milk products from Harmony Organic. I was instantly drawn to the old-fashioned glass bottles and intrigued enough to buy a few bottles and give it a try. I commonly purchase my milk in the plastic milk [...]
‘World’s Most Ethical Companies’
Interesting article on Greenbiz.com, discussing Ethisphere magazine’s recent release of its list of the “World’s Most Ethical Companies” for 2007.
More than 5,000 companies were considered (across 30 different industries), yet fewer than 100 made the final list. I must admit to being a tad surprised by some of the finalists (more on that in a [...]

I found a great article over at CNET, talking about biodiesel entrepreneurs. According to the article, the demand for green automobiles is on the rise and used car dealers are carving a niche for themselves by selling biodiesel-ready autos. Around the US, dealerships are popping up offering middle-class drivers with biodiesel vehicles like, VW, [...]
Green-Pizza - mmmmmm pizza!!

What makes his pizza business green?
* His drivers deliver pizza in rechargeable electric cars
* The mozzarella comes from cows not [...]
Philips Launches Green Logo
I just came across an article about the new Philips “Green Tick” logo. Yet again, another corporation creating their own eco label. Watch out readers, the wave has yet to hit. An influx of “corporate biodiesel bandwagon jumpers” will soon be flooding stores with their chic “green labels”.
According to the Philips website, the [...]
How do you like them apples?
Probably not the best title that I could come up with but it is a Thursday morning and my coffee hasn’t kicked in yet. A few days ago, Apple announced their plan to boost their already existent eco-initiatives. I need to disclose that I am a supporter of Apple and own a few MACs [...]
Eco Labels - 100 % Green?
In a recent Business Week article, they examined the marketing tactics of various retailers, including Home Depot. As we have mentioned numerous times on our website, Home Depot is heavily promoting their green products in Canada. On a recent visit to the store I found tons of copies of their green publication, Eco Options [...]
My Rant on Corporations After reading the article about Prince Charles I started writing (ranting) about corporations. I was going to include the follow text in the Charles post, but decided that I needed to write a separate post.
My Rant:
I hope that in the near future we will see an eco-standard established for corporations. The idea would [...]
