Grassroots supports to Ontario Clean Air Alliance
As the Province continues to experience a
growing number of smog days, Grassroots will by donating 10% of their
net sales to the Ontario Clean Air Alliance during their Feel Good
Friday promotion. On June 30th please shop at Grassroots to support the
work of the Ontario Clean Air Alliance (OCAA).
Grassroots, which opened its first store in
1994, is a community-based retailer offering environmentally-friendly
products that allow people to make positive choices for themselves,
their communities and the planet. Beyond being simply a retail store,
Grassroots participates in BikeShare, offers in-store workshops,
showcases local artists and is powered by 100% green electricity. Over
the years, Grassroots has won many awards including the Green Toronto
Award of Excellence from the City of Toronto in 2005.
You can shop at either of Grassroots' two
Toronto locations or online at http://www.grassrootsstore.com/.
They are located in Riverdale at 372 Danforth Avenue (Chester subway
station) and in the Annex at 408 Bloor Street West (either the Bathurst
or Spadina station).
The OCAA thanks Grassroots for its
support.
Correction
In our bulletin on Thursday, June 22, we
said that the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario (ECO) has called for
the McGuinty energy plan to be subject to a full environmental
assessment. In fact, what the ECO specifically called for was for the
province to post a notice of its proposed EA exemption regulation (O.
Reg. 276/06) on the Environmental Bill of Rights Registry. We apologize
for the error.
Please pass this message on to your friends.
Thank you.
