Journalist Greg McMillan of TheGreenHub.ca scours the internet daily for up-to-the-minute green stories that are important to you. His compilation of news items from around The Green Hub plus quirky tidbits and trends makes sure you are in the loop …. without doing the time-consuming legwork.
LONG BEFORE it became cool to partake in enviro-consciousness, Scouts Canada was doing its part … and more. Back in 1972, thousands of beavers, cubs, scouts, venturers and rovers began planting trees each spring to show their concern for the environment.
