The group was formed following a very successful Earth Hour candlelight walk through part of our neighbourhood in Bloor West Village last March. More than 500 people attended the walk and numerous businesses participated by turning off or down their lights for the hour.
Green 13 intends to educate and advocate for positive changes to ensure the protection of our environment. Some of the ideas we have been and will be focusing on include:
Organizing regular community meetings to:
- Discuss key issues impacting our environment both locally and globally
- Participate in city-wide environmental events
- Organize support for Community Right to Know legislation
- Creating a series of community events around Earth Hour 2009 to involve even more residents and businesses
- Engaging schools to encourage youth involvement.
To successfully implement these and other ideas we need your help!
