Now that is a company obviously in need of such enlightenment, driving a Hummer around Halifax as a corporate marketing tool! Was it intentional that you choose this location? Maybe in hopes of educating them to the environmental and social implications of such a war mongering, gas-guzzling vehicle in an urban environment? If so Good Job! Yours Truly, Annabelle Singleton Environmental Scientist CBCL Limited 1489 Hollis Street PO Box 606 Halifax, NS Canada B3J 2R7 902 421 7241, local 2253 Fax 902 423 3938 email: annabelles@cbcl.ca Community-based Social Marketing Workshop June 7 RRFB Nova Scotia is pleased to sponsor a one-day workshop during Environment Week on community-based social marketing presented by environmental psychologist, Doug McKenzie-Mohr from St. Thomas University.
