		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t intend to pick on Westmount since every community on the island probably has a similarly large ecological footprint. Nevertheless, it is just amazing when you look at the map above. The BLUE border is the physical size of Westmount. The RED border is the ecological footprint, or the size of the Earth&#8217;s resources [...]]]></description>

This is local, sustainable thinking at a state level. Bravo!

When you bring your homemade spinach dip or guacamole to a party, you must remember to take back your container (usually a &#8220;Flubberware&#8221; of plastic poison), or even worse, use a disposable container that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Instead of relying upon the state of California, the city of San Jose has taken it upon itself to become energy independent (Montreal politicians take notice). Europe has already adopted this technology because it kills two birds with one stone: reducing the amount of organic waste that goes to landfills and renewable energy gets produced.

How could it be that this man is responsible for Montreal&#8217;s Sustainability efforts?

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a great idea for anyone who has been interested in reducing their household waste through composting (the process of transforming organic kitchen waste into rich earth soil). Household waste that can be composted currently accounts for 30% of all waste that ends up in land fills or incinerators. Compost Montreal is an organization that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my experience, anything that is fast, cheap and easy to make is generally bad for human health, bad for the Earth&#8217;s health, and most likely both. Styrofoam is one of the first modern pollutants (invented in 1938) that is considered a necessity of everyday commerce and agriculture. Yet at the same time, it pollutes [...]]]></description>

The response from the man in charge is staggeringly similar to the ones in charge of the banks: &#8220;We had NO idea this was coming!&#8221; So far, the recyclables market [...]]]></description>

Via: Hour.ca Recycling will get dumped or have to be buried, quite literally, unless a solution is found to revamp the practice in Quebec.
