Be part of the largest global movement in history on October 10th. Bill Mckibben, renown author, activist, and founder of 350.org is once more calling for a global communal response to the climate crisis. Last year we mobilized on October 24th. It was considered the largest activist event in history. As of today 5,249 10/10/10 events have been registered online, beating last year’s figure of 5,248. Where our political leaders fail us, citizens of the world are taking action.
In an email sent today to 350.org members, Mckibben writes: “I'm a bit tired, but am feeling completely recharged by today's milestone. It sure is nice to know that this movement is growing bigger all the time.”
Ok, so What’s a 10/10/10 Work Party?
According to the 350.org website, the concept of a work party derives from traditions of various cultures such as the minga in the Andes. All of these cultures have in common the idea of bringing their whole community together for a day of collective work, usually to complete a project that will benefit the whole community. These traditions are often typically followed by a fun event involving food and music to celebrate the big accomplishment. For 10/10/10, folks are invited to join forces with others in their communities to complete a sustainability project that will benefit the community, and help make carbon reduction tangible – and fun – for everyone. People are organizing bicycle workshops, reforestations, solar panel installations, apple pressing and so on.
Jane and I will celebrate Thanksgiving with family near Owen Sound. We’ve been invited to join a 10/10/10 community guided mushroom walk led by a mycologist to learn how to uncover mushrooms – the ones that won’t kill us when we eat them, or do strange and curious things to our minds. I’ll also engage the family in a letter writing campaign to urge Senators to pass Bill C-311, the Climate Change Accountability Act. I am hearing from some Liberal Senators that the Conservatives are stalling debate on the Bill.

I’ve just finished the first chapter of Mckibben’s new book Eaarth. I tell you, it’s probably the most sobering piece of news I’ve ever read. We need to work together immediately to reduce our carbon output, and make our communities economically diverse and resilient. The stable climate we’ve depended on during our civilized existence is now dramatically changing and it’s only going to get worse. Oh, and our resources have begun to dwindle. So we either work together, reduce our carbon emissions and strengthen our communities, or we ignore the warning signs and develop no skills to handle the onslaught of food and water shortages, natural disasters and economic crashes as a result of dwindling resources.
Green Halloween with SwapSity
SwapSity is offering a creative way to save money this Halloween season. Instead of shopping for costumes, decorations and accessories, eco-minded individuals can swap for them. Why buy a costume you'll only wear for a few hours when you can trade for a gently-used ensemble that's new to you?
SwapSity has two ways to save money during Halloween. Members can participate in the online swap and post all the adult and kids costumes, pumpkin carving sets and decorations no longer needed and barter for something they really want. On October 2nd, they're also holding a face-to-face swap meet in downtown Toronto to help everyone recycle their Halloween themed items. Parents can bring in their child's outgrown black cat accessories and pick up a superhero costume or trade in tombstone lawn decorations for a new sound effects CD to play during trick-or-treating. Adult costumes and accessories are also barter-worthy. To learn more, visit http://www.swapsity.ca/pages/halloween_2010

Hallowgreen, Green Dreams and Save the World
Hallowgreen
Halloween is creeping up. Will it be a truly creepy holiday replete with genetically modified candy, toxic makeup and plastic wrappers that will last several vampire lifetimes? How does one enjoy the holiday without having eco-horror nightmares?
To help you green Halloween, Bordon Communications & Design offers the following handy handbook - http://www.bordencom.com/bordenhalloween.pdf
Green Beds
Speaking of preventing eco-horror nightmares, Jane and I happened upon a great new retail outlet for eco-friendly mattresses and bedding. It's called Keetsa and it offers beds - get this - at prices comparable to their toxic equivalents. Why? Keetsa compresses the mattresses to make them portable, thus cutting down on warehouse and transportation overhead. The beds are very comfortable. If you live in Toronto, visit their retail outlet in the Beaches (2245 Queen Street East) to test them out. You can also buy comfort layers for the lumpy pull out couch to give visiting relatives a good night rest.
International Day of Climate Action
Tell your kids, nieces, nephews, grand kids, etc. that you actually did something to save the world. Sadly, this statement is not hyperbole. Join hundreds of thousands worldwide on October 24 - the International Day of Climate Action - and tell our leaders to set science based greenhouse gas reduction targets on climate change. World reps meet in Copenhagen this December to chart a course over the next 40 years. We better get our targets right. Now is the time to act. Join us on Parliament Hill for C-Day: Fill the Hill, where there will be among other things a 1000 person flash-dance, or join one of many events happening near where you live. Make climate change history.
The Yes Men Fix the World
This fantastic documentary opens today with national release on Oct 24. I saw it at the Toronto Hot Docs Festival last spring. Hilarious and sobering all at once, The Yes Men take social activism to a whole new level. Don't miss it!

One Month on a Garbage Diet and a Prayer for Obama One Kenobi
One Month of Garbage Weight Watchers
Jane and I have survived one month of garbage prudence. Two months to go! Already our small bag of garbage is half full. The culprit? The plastic lining of the large cat food bag, as anticipated. The rest? Crinkly plastic protectors around bottles, plastic tabs for the almond milk and in a brain dead moment, the packaging of sustainably caught smoked salmon. I was too focused on the treat and not on the packaging. My carnivorous desire for salmon got the better of me.
This week, however, I celebrate a few successes. I was in Montreal for work where I was troubled to discover that only polystyrene plates – a.k.a. plastic number six – were provided for the meals. Plastic number six can't be recycled where I come from. I didn’t bother to ask if polystyrene is given another life in Montreal. With nary a recycling bin to be found at Bonadventure, such a question seemed pointless.
Emboldened by the encouragement from the folks at my table, I kept and cleaned my plate and plastic cutlery and used them at every meal. Needless to say the wait staff seemed a little puzzled by me. I must have looked a little crazed whenever they attempted to collect my plate. And it wasn’t just my plate and cutlery I kept. Every scrap piece of waste was lovingly wrapped and placed in my bulging pockets, bound for the organics bin in my house. It’s a darn good thing the trip lasted only two days.
The plate and cutlery I’ve kept for reuse.
Imagine if everyone avoided the garbage bin like a bad idea. We might all be crazy, but not as crazy as throwing everything in the bin without thought to its collective impact.
In the US that’s 1,700 pounds of trash per person times 300 million. Imagine what that looks like. Lord help us. What if we all reduced it to four modest bags of garbage per year? Trust me, it’s doable. Or didn’t throw any of it out like Dave Chameides?
Halloween Fair Trade Fun!
Jane and I have given up our dream to renovate the house. Instead, we are spending our money on Halloween candy.
I can’t be a party pooper. I have to give the little goblins something fun and for me something fun is chocolate. And I can’t buy chocolate without choosing fair trade organic which costs more money, a lot more, than chocolate harvested by child slave laborers. For some reason.
We’ve ordered 200 Cocoa Camino dark chocolate minis. They were shipped to my office today. I’m not even going to tell you the cost (under $50!). We may also get a few boxed raisons to augment the minis. Just because. Think of it as a chocolate separated raison treat. Happy Halloween!!
Help us Obama One Kenobi
To all my Democrat American friends and anyone else living on planet earth, let us pray:
Dear great spirit, please give the American people the wisdom to elect Barak Obama as President and end eight years of hell that has befallen the US of A, not to mention certain parts of the world. Please guide him when he's in office, oh great one, as he transforms his country from the second biggest carbon gas emitter on the planet to an effective leader on sustainability. May he serve eight great years, be one of the most beloved and important presidents in American history and live to a great old age. Look after him oh big spirit. He’s going to need it.
And if that doesn’t cut it, envision me in a white robe with cinnamon bun hair sending a simple message in a droid in a country not too far far away....Help us Obama One Kenobi. You’re our only hope.

60 Percent Campaign – Election Blues and Halloween Dilemma
All I can say is thank god it’s over.
On the bright side, the Conservatives didn’t get their majority (oh yippy) at the conclusion of the latest Canadian election. Stephan Dion will be replaced and the Liberals will get their mojo back. Unfortunately the carbon tax now carts some serious baggage making it a tougher sell in the future. And Elizabeth May of the Green Party didn’t get elected. No one from the Party did. Needless to say dudes I’m seriously bummed.
But I’ll get over it. I’ve learned my lesson not to naively trust politicians, the media and general public on important issues such as climate change during an election campaign.
So I turn my appeal to you (yes you). Anyone who gives a damn about our future is needed at the grassroots level. You’re a reasonable, intelligent and stable person. You seem credible to friends and strangers. Know the issues and solutions regarding the climate crisis and start conversations. It’s only through word of mouth that people will start waking up to the problem and opportunities. And even if some don’t do much about it at least they won’t be so blind when others come forward with solutions that require their support.
What’s at issue? Eleven years. We have eleven years to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20 percent by 1990 levels. Impossible? No. Know the obstacles but know that it’s not impossible to reach this goal. We just have to be clever.
What’s at stake? I think you know.
One more Kick at the Proportional Representation Can
I can’t help myself. Check out the discrepancy between the popular vote and how many seats the parties collected. This time around the voices of 19% of voters are not represented in parliament. Think this is unfair? Visit Fair Vote Canada to sign their petition.

Halloween
The spooky season is upon us. What’s a girl on a garbage challenge to do with a holiday that revels in packaging? If I’m not supposed to produce garbage, can I really give kids candy with packaging that will end up in the garbage? I can’t really give out apples. A) Boring. B) Creepy C) Waste of apples.
Last year, I gave out fair trade organic chocolate, shipped from San Francisco. The chocolate was so tiny the goblins seemed dumbfounded that I could be so cheap (and believe me, those little chocolates were anything but).
So what do I do? Skip Halloween? Or dress up as Scrooge and lecture trick & treaters on reducing their carbon footprint? Surly there must be another way!
The challenge is to find treats with packaging that can be recycled. I can’t control what they do with the waste, but at least some will recycle it or it won’t take centuries to break down. That leads me to boxed raisons. Hmmm…. A) Boring. B) Waste of raisons.
The search is on to find something organic, recycle-friendly and affordable. The best I can come up with are the tiny organic dark chocolate bites made by Equal Exchange, which I gave out last year. Cost is $12 US for 46 pieces. For organic & fair trade candy, this is pretty good. I could order lots and give out two at a time. If anyone else has any bright ideas, please let me know.
Other tips to celebrate with a tiny footprint…
· Don’t drive the little goblins to trick or treat. Stick to the neigbourhood.
· Ensure your pumpkin is organic and local. Toast the seeds. Use the pumpkin innards for a soup or pie. Compost the rest of the pumpkin
· Use LED lighting or candlelight for your walkway. Keep your indoor lights off.
· Make your own costume from scratch or bought from a used clothing store. Be creative. I remember one gal dressing up as the orange fairy. She wore a fantastical orange outfit and put orange dots on the people she met. It was a great ice breaker.

Good Karma Spooky Candy
It’s autumn! By now you’re well into enjoying your cozy fall attire…except if you’re living in southern Ontario where, up until Monday, it was still summer! The roving reporter on Toronto’s CityTV gushed that the balmy Thanksgiving weather was wonderful. And it was – for a person with an IQ of a small child.
But enough of my b*%ching. Halloween is just around the corner. How fun is that! Now that Jane and I have a cute little house with a white picket fence we have no choice but to do Halloween in style!
But what are a couple of eco-warriors to do when most Halloween candy and chocolate bars are made possible by child and slave labour, not to mention dodgy environmental practices?
Can we have wholesome Halloween candy and would it be edible too?
You bet your fair trade organic chocolate!
Now I know our adult instincts instruct us to throw something truly wholesome in the loot bags…like raisons. But honestly, will the little monsters eat them? Perhaps when the candy runs out and they’re desperate.
Here are some fun tasty options that will make a positive impact. Some of the following may be sold at eco-grocery or green-positive stores. You can also order online through the links below. Please plan ahead to ensure that your trick or treat good-karma goodies get to you in time for the big night:
Geo Exchange
Your online fair trade Halloween candy shop. You can buy fair trade milk chocolate gold coins from a coop in Ghana – just $3.95 per 22 pieces.
You can even buy a Fair Trade Trick or Treat Action Kit for $15. Toss in a fair trade postcard when you throw in the chocolate. A little something for the parents - especially when their children inquire about them and expect an intelligent adult answer. Am I being too hopeful?
Get your kids to take part in the Reverse Trick or Treating campaign. Get them to hand out fair trade chocolate to the people handing out lousy trade chocolate.
Endangered Species Chocolate
Proceeds go to help save endangered species. You can get Dark Chocolate Halloween Treats. They are not organic. For organic alternatives, select Organic Chimp Mints or Organic Milk or Dark Chocolate Bug Bites. The latter are pricier but proceeds do support a great cause.
Vegan Essentials
For those who prefer candy to chocolate, here are some organic alternatives.
Organic Fruit Snacks
This may be more acceptable than raisons. Try Stretch Island's "Fruitabü" Organic Smooshed Fruit snacks. Mmmm…I’d go for those.

Action:
The Canadian Ministry of Environment drastically cut several vital wildlife monitoring services in a shortsighted attempt to beef up action on global warming.
