Billion hectares of forests with potential for restoration, study shows
by Michael Smith (Veshengro) Land areas around the world, bigger in combined size than Canada, have been identified as having potential to be restored to good quality, healthy forests, so a new study has found. As the global effort to help tackle climate change by reversing the earth’s alarming loss of forests steps up, scientists using sophisticated satellite mapping have produced a world map identifying areas in which more than a billion hectares of former forest land and degraded forest land has restoration potential. That is about six per cent of the planet’s total land area.

Green This, Not That
Last week, I was in Toronto for a quick promotional tour on behalf of Method Home Products (I’ve been working with them for several years now as a spokesperson/consultant). Backstage at Canada AM, sort of their version of the Today Show, I’m setting up props for my segment I called “Green This, Not That.” I also showed a new Method product on-air for the very first time that just launched in Canada. 8221; The basic premise: if you can’t afford to buy all organic or eco-friendly products, here’s where you should definitely spend your money and here’s where you can save it. Thought I’d share these tips with you here.

Rewilding Canada Through Vertical Farming
Karl Schroede r November 10, 2008 5:00 AM http://www.worldchanging.com/local/canada/archives/008855.html Rewilding Canada was written by Karl Schroeder in July 2007. We're republishing it here as part of our month-long WorldChanging Canada editorial retrospective, celebrating two years of WorldChanging Canada. It's better to be active than reactive. It's the difference between generating your own goals from what is best in you, and accommodating goals that have been thrust upon you and are not yours. So.

Store Visit: Mountain Equipment CoOp
The product was hitting store shelves in Canada first (and it’s now rolling out in the US in stores like Lowe’s, Duane Reade, Walgreens, Wegman’s, Whole Foods and Target) and I had the opportunity to be somewhat of a Method Goodwill Ambassador to the media on this trip.
So my venturing into the neighborhood did not take me far, but where it did take me was to the Mountain Equipment CoOp store, a unique shopping experience that is Canada’s leading supplier of outdoor equipment and gear.
At the beginning of January, I flew up to Toronto to make a few appearances on behalf of Method to unveil our Method Laundry detergent.
