A message from "andrew angus" <andrew@bethechange.ca> to Sustainable Maritimes (sust-mar) subscribers.
Hello,

I wanted to pass a note along to keep you all updated on what we are doing
to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the HRM this summer.

We have just started a new garden care business that has a focus on organic
gardening and yard maitenance. We will be:

- planting vegetable gardens in the city to help us to reconnet with our
food and eat delicious home grown fruits and vegetables.
- cutting grass using a push lawnmower and scythe so that there are no
greenhouse gas emissions.
- using a bicycle trailer as transportation thus eliminating another
potential source of emissions.
- avoiding the use of any chemical pesticides or fertilizers thereby
reducing our dependance on fossil fuels.

Our primary objective is not to create wealth but rather to promote social
change.  Solar Juice therefore does not really fit into any traditional
catagories of businesss, non profit, community group or co-opperative but in
fact is a mix of all four in various ways. We are all activists who are
trying to create employment for ourselves by implementing the principals
that we talk about so often.  This hybrid venture is still being defined as
we work.

If you are interested in learning more about solar juice please visit our
website at http://www.solarjuice.ca or call us at 420-1765 and we can send
you a copy of our business plan 'Towards Life After Capitalism."

If you would like to support our work by having us doing yard work around
your home please contact us as well.

thanks

Andrew
