Sustainability isn’t environmentalism.
It’s equally about our social and economic systems - finding balance in these complex relationships, ensuring well-being and prosperity today and for all future generations to come.

Many know from our Instagram we’ve humbly launched a fundraising campaign to retool our business and adapt to our Covid world. As a new small business startup during Covid, we haven’t had gov financial aid ops, but we’re not giving up! ☕️

What say you, #elxn44 party leaders?
Pressing the #votehousing point on acute housing needs & the imperative to #EndHomelessness one more time along with so many of my #CDNmuni Mayoral colleagues. #cdnpoli

Our Healthy & Sustainable Living study found an increase in people wanting to consume less. While a #CircularEconomy makes sense both environmentally & economically, there are mixed opinions around buying #secondhand items.
