| Have you taken a look at your waste bin lately? No? Go ahead and take a look.
Were you startled or embarrased by what you saw? Don't worry, you're not alone. Even the most avid recyclers end up with some paper and plastic in their bins. Sometimes, recycling is just more pain than it's worth. Not anymore.
If you're a BIA member, and your business creates waste (whose doesn't?), you may be eligible to participate in our Zero Waste Challenge. It's a lot less work than it sounds like, and we'll get those banned materials out of your bin. Best of all, we'll set you up with recycling and composting systems that will save you money. |
The Urban Tree Nursery is a joint initiative of the newly
founded Hastings Crossing BIA and the Strathcona BIA, with additional
involvement from UBC Department of Forestry, the City, and Mission Possible
Enterprises. We will be installing a minimum of 12 tree planters along East
Hastings, starting at Gore and working our way west and east to at least Carrall
and Princess Streets.
Saplings will grow for three to five years in the planters, and will then be auctioned off and transported to their permanent homes. Funds from the auctions will go toward community initiatives and maintenance of this program. Residents will also have opportunities to sponsor individual trees; we will recognize sponsors with plaques on the planters. |
