Fresh "Food"abase

By: Noah

Until the tender age of 18 or there-abouts, my Mom still packed me a lunch every day.  Yup, that’s right...momma’s boy.  She seemed to want to do it, she made some damn good sandwiches, and working Landscaping 12 hours a day leaves you with little energy to do the little things in life.  This culinary luxury however procured a certain hunger for homemade deli sandwiches.  And this tossed me a curveball in my quest to eat Local sustainable organics; how do I reconcile my unwavering desire for these deli meats, when seemingly nobody offers them certifiably the way I’m trying to live?

Fortunately for me I stumbled across a new website launched last month from Greenbelt Ontario entitled www.greenbeltfresh.ca .  It’s a website that seeks to connect buyers, growers, restaurateurs, and markets together in a massive online database.  Regardless of who you are, it’s seemingly easy navigation and attractive layout makes it an effortless solution to one of life’s my daunting questions: What do I want to eat?

DIY - Homebrew

By Andrew

As many of you have begun to notice, it’s starting to get really hot outside.  With temperatures in May reaching the high 20s there is a good chance that the upcoming summer weather will be nice and sticky.  Beating the heat isn’t always easy, but it can be fun and delicious.  The solution that my roommate and I turned to was brewing our own beer!

Bulk Public Transit

By: Noah

Many Torontonians seeking quick, easy and environmentally friendly access to the various corners of our city turn to the TTC for public transportation.  It's snaking maze of subway, bus and streetcar routes truly makes the city feel smaller and more like a community.  Unfortnately for many of us, the $3 price tag on the service makes it a little less of an attractive ride.  Now we all knew that it wasn't going to be cheap going green, so in the eyes of Positive Pete let's just say: at least it's lower than the $10-$35 you could spend on a taxi ride!  And ceratinly it's faster than walking - and safer (most of the time) than riding your bike.  In the end, it is an undeniably responsible form of alternative (albeit expensive) trasportation when you're trying to be eco-conscious.
