Going Green

Today I received a surprise parcel at my doorsteps, it was the FREE Union Gas Energy Saving Kit. The ESK Kit Contains:

• 1 Energy-Efficient Chrome Massage Showerhead
• 1 Energy-Efficient Kitchen Swivel Aerator
• 1 Energy-Efficient Bathroom Aerator
• 1 Roll of Teflon Tape
• 2 Meters of Foam Pipe Insulation

 

 

Also, City of Waterloo dropped off the Green Bin last week, and I suddenly realized I didn't need to use it at all, because

• Single person doesn't cook much = not much kitchener leftover
• Most of my leftover vegetable goes to my Black Bin instead of Green Bin ;-p

Time to get dirty to DIY and save the earth!

Green Bin to Waterloo

I received a mail from Region of Waterloo, notifying selected neighbourhoods are starting to participate in the Green Bin program (approprixmately 40,000 households). FYI: The smaller kitchen container is not green ;-)

All I can say it's about time, after GTA and Mississauga have implemented it for years. For the record, Waterloo region did start the Green Bin pilot in 2006.

More details can be found on the region's website
