“We like to say it’s easy being green with a little help, a little education, a little support and that sort of thing, it becomes easier and easier. That’s what we do. We come in and we help people through education and through advice, through hands-on support and services consulting with businesses and in the community and with families. I visit schools and other organizations to provide hands-on presentations where the kids get to experience what the environment and sustainable living is all about. The kids actually remember so much more when they get to experience something and for them to learn a topic and actually make realizations about how they impact the environment, can actually change their entire perspective. My role with the organization is to essentially help residents, people in their homes green their homes whatever that looks like for them. It’s a very holistic and personalized look at the home. We are able to tailor every visit to whatever the needs of the homeowner are. I think certainly the main areas are chemical use in the home and saving on utility bills. I think those are the primary concerns when we are going in to a home for the first time. I work on the Green Workplace Program. I’m a Green Workplace Consultant. I help businesses to reduce their environmental impact. Sometimes they don’t really know what their goals are; they just say, “Green our office,” and so we have to come in and help them refine their goals. Is it more around waste-related or is it more energy-related. We’re encouraging businesses to reduce their waste, recycle their waste. I feel like I’m making a difference in the Alberta Recycling climate, Calgarians are really open to the message. They’re a city where we really appreciate the beautiful environment that we have. I think the city of Calgary has set some excellent sustainability goals for the community and people are from all sectors are interested in being part of reaching those goals. I think a lot of people, they want to make change and they just don’t know where to start. That’s where we come in. www.greencalgary.org. People often need a helping hand and that friendly support. That’s what we’re here to do. I think it makes a big difference.”
