One of my goals is to increase my knowledge of environmental issues going on in Ontario and on a larger scale Canada. Living in Waterloo, I'm very close to St. Jacobs which is a farm based Mennonite community. For me, shopping locally is very easy. For someone living in Toronto, the chances of them being able to get local produce is pretty slim.
I'm following multiple Canadian environmental companies and movements on Twitter. FoodlandOntario and Holland Marsh both linked to a website called Green Enterprise Toronto. GET believes that Toronto can become a sustainable world-class city by supporting its local, green businesses. GET isn't just directed towards restaurants or produce. There are links up for clothing, health and beauty products, music, IT support and a bazillion other things.
