 An Opportunity to Contribute Financially to Clean Calgary Association’s Efforts
Clean Calgary Association is a unique non-profit, charitable organization that is making strides in the face of many environmental challenges. Despite the breadth of work that needs to be done, environmental organizations receive only 2% of donations. Please consider donating to Clean Calgary Association, and / or another environmental organization through Canada Helps so that together we can continue this important work.
In 2008, Clean Calgary Association provided environmental education, resources, and services to tens of thousands of Calgarians (and growing!) through
· Courses and interactive presentations to schools, business, and other interested individuals;
· Clean Calgary Association’s EcoStore (809 – 4th Ave.) where you’ll find hundreds of products that provide practical and fun environmental alternatives,
· Customized services that help businesses and residents reduce their environmental impact; and
· Extensive website resources (www.cleancalgary.org), newsletters, emails, and telephone calls.
hank you to everyone who supports Clean Calgary Association by taking part in our programs, volunteering, shopping at the EcoStore, telling others about the resources we offer, making suggestions, purchasing memberships, giving grants and donations, and - so importantly - making changes in your own life! You are an integral part of the Clean Calgary community. Happy holidays and New Year!

Clean Calgary Association ran our first EcoLogic 201 course with 23 people participating. All the participants had a great time learning about diverse environmental issues and how to help, about what others are doing and, most importantly, about building a community of like-minded people. The course was such a huge success that we will be running a second one starting on February 10th, 2009.

 Industrial Farming has Really, Really Big Feet
Q:
Hello Ashley,
I try to be conscious as I can, purchasing environmentally sustainable products and food and taking actions to reduce my energy use. Where I am struggling though is with my water consumption. I have tap aerators throughout my house and only shampoo my hair twice a week to cut down on my shower time. But I recently learnt about the concept of virtual water and water footprints. I was shocked to learn the amount of embedded water in the food I buy. Do you have any suggestions about how I can reduce my embedded water consumption?
Thanks,
Kate
