A sustainable future is not just an aspiration. Hub Ottawa and BioRegional, an innovative environmental organization, invite you to join us in a unique 4-hour workshop to create a One Planet Action Plan - a roadmap for creating a truly sustainable space at the Hub. The outcome will create a model in our region for 21st century lifestyles that meet the challenges of environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
We’ll be using the ten One Planet Living Principles ~ http://www.oneplanetvision.org/one-planet-living/opl-framework/
This will be an inspiring and amazing experience, hope to see you there!
Welcome to urbanforest’s blog!
Thimble Cakes is an organic cupcake bakery located at 369 Bank St. in Ottawa, Canada, and kindly hosted our first photoshoot. Present were local poet and radio host, Ali Alikhani, and Thimble Cakes owner, Wendy vanVelthoven as our models. Zena Saab from Beauty by Zena did a wonderful job on make-up for the models, and Malorie Bertrand, Editor-in-Chief for Ef Magazine, styled Ali and Wendy in sustainable fashion from Young Janes. Our house photographer, Gilbert Kimani, has another ongoing project called UGHtraction. The red velvet cupcake shown above, one of Thimble Cakes’ signature selections, was the main cupcake of choice in urbanforest’s first photoshoot. Super delicious!!
Thank you to everyone involved and stay tuned for ‘urbanforest @ Ef’ ~ released on the last day of every month. The photo gallery will feature everyday people from the Ottawa community dressed in sustainable fashion living and doing business in a sustainable/local/organic way.
Looking forward to demonstrating to you sustainable lifestyle and business best practices in Ottawa!
Peace, love & light ~ Ky
