Organic Box 3 week trial experiment. Happy health kick, bit of a wallet shock though!

Well, I had three pretty satisfying weeks with Organic Box. Every day at work I had new fruits and vegetables and over the course of the weeks I noticed a bump in my general health. I felt more balanced energy and my whole system was functioning a lot more smoothly. (Yes, that’s code for pooping). [...]

Local Business Profile: SocialModern Pub 106ave @ 108st Edmonton

Sorry this one took a while. These guys got my attention. They’ve been shared on my Facebook wall (as well as promoted by advertisements) for a while now. I kept seeing this beautiful graphic for FREE BURGER. So I checked them out. Turns out they are locally owned and have some serious intentions on carving [...]

I signed up for the Organic Box food delivery! Convenient & sustainable?

None of us are perfect, we can’t all afford to live the way we want and do what we want. What we can do is our best to be as satisfied as possible that we do good when we’re able to. I have been increasing my healthy food intake lately and got sick and tired [...]

Situation with Home Depot resolved. So do I continue to shop there? You be the judge.

From the moment I involved twitter and my blog on this issue I was handled with the utmost professionalism and courtesy by Home Depot. Store Manager Mike McLeod was easy to deal with and obviously knows his business. Thank you internet and social media!  Everyone from the manager to the head office complaint resolution woman [...]

Edmonton Freecycle is a GREAT idea, but they are hindered by censorship & control issues. Grow/Change?

I’ve never been afraid to speak the truth or say my piece even if it means exposing a flaw in an otherwise positive organization. Rational criticism can be helpful, I feel that we stop looking at our faults too easily and by being forced to sometimes we can save what we love from destruction or [...]

Ripply Flexy Nerdy Enviro Guy Soldiers of Fitness 2 month Summary. That’s it for now, Awesome!

Well, I did have to miss the last 2 weeks of my 2 month experiment at Soldiers of Fitness Edmonton due to managing the Occupy Edmonton Camp. I still have quite the summary though! My week at Occupy Edmonton sapped my health a little and the vegan type food mixed with assorted junk snacks didn’t [...]

I helped install this awesome solar array / shade at Manasc Isaac downtown!

I know this is late, and I do apologize to everyone. I was so excited I uploaded the video a long time ago and got distracted before actually writing the article! I’m ADHDCanuck for a reason after all. I’m fairly skeptical of companies who make money off green talk, but Manasc Isaac seems to back [...]

Local Business Profile: Bohemia Cafe (ArtMuzak!) Epic, Chill, Indie Venue

Bohemia Cafe @ 10575 114st I bought a Livingsocial coupon for this place ages ago and just now got around to going in for my discounted food and drinks. Turns out they make a pretty mean sammich, (yes, sammich) and serve excellent coffee (Catfish Coffee from right here in town). They’re very homey and comfortable, [...]

Salt, Ice-Melter, or Volcanic rock. Best performing and best Eco option for icy walks?

I did a three way comparison between these types of products to compare how they work and their side effects. I didn’t compare plain sand but it’s a fair solution as well. It doesn’t do nearly as good a job as volcanic rock products but it’s cheaper. I have no need of it so I [...]
