10 Delicious Green Summer Meals

If you've followed Green Calgary's social media for a while now, you've likely stumbled on our #meatlessmonday posts, where we suggest meatless meals each & every week that are delicious and fun! Last week in our blog and newsletter, we discussed The Sustainability Secret by Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn, which suggests that the best thing you can do for the planet is to stop eating meat. Whether you agree with their assessment or not, it's a fact that meatless meals leave less of an environmental footprint than ones with meat (it's how much that is in question). Meatless Mondays weren't started with this idea in mind - it was a healthy eating movement - but, if everyone who eats meat everyday just went meatless for one day a week, there would be a huge difference to our global environment. Even if you're not vegan or vegetarian, many meatless meals are just really tasty, too! We wouldn't want anyone to miss out, so here are 10 of the most delicious of our #meatlessmonday posts!

It's a Bug's Life

Over the past week, we've run two Native Insect Identification Walks in Prince's Island Park. Thanks to our incredible experts, Nick Johnson of Eat My Shrubs Holistic Landscaping and Haydee Peralta, Ecologist and Insect Expert, we were able to take a few dozen brave souls on the journey into the fascinating world of bugs! Nick provided tips and tricks for pesticide free insect management as well as gardening info. Haydee led the insect identification portion. Everyone had fun learning about our buzzing buddies, even if they were unsure at first. There was a couple that were a little scared of bees but by the end of the walk they were confident enough to gently catch and release wasps! That's a big leap! The Bugs in Your Backyard program has been something Green Calgary has been interested in doing for a while now, and we're very pleased to finally get the chance. If you missed the event, that's okay. You can learn a lot on your own, either by checking in with a citi

Be A Zero Waste Hero! 5 Easy Steps to Start Cutting Your Waste

Image
Starting down the Zero Waste path is not easy. Most of us will find it very challenging, and many of us will have setbacks. But with some work and support, we can all start reducing our waste. Why do we want to cut down our waste? The Zero Waste philosophy is about waste management and planning - respecting the products in our lives and reducing our reliance on landfills. The benefits are many, such as reducing the plastic pollution in waterways, reducing the land use for landfills, and conserving our water and energy. “Canadians rank worst of all countries on earth for waste production per capita. Albertans produce the most waste of all the provinces and territories in Canada.” – Conference Board of Canada, 2014 How does it work? The Zero Waste philosophy is more about guiding principles than it is about hard-and-fast rules. Respect the products you use, and plan for the entire life of the product. Not all of the work can be done by people alone, and companies and gove

Some of these spots are located outside of Calgary, but all are within a one-hour drive, so getting there is doable within a small time frame. Because some of these places can only be accessed by vehicle, we encourage you to invite your friends, carpool together, and make a fun trip out of it! After all, you will need someone to take pictures with! Reader Rock Garden Reader Rock Garden is a great place to take pictures, hang out with friends, and enjoy the scenery.
