Earth Month Sustainable Living: Round-Up
April was Earth Month and throughout that time, we wanted to help Victorians learn about sustainability and find new ways to live more sustainably. With the month coming to an end, we've gathered our blog posts together into one place to make one big source for information, resources, and local businesses!
Jazz Appreciation Month with Hermann’s
Hermann's Jazz Club has been entertaining jazz lovers in Victoria for 40 years! They are an iconic part of the music scene downtown. On April 30th, World Jazz Day, help them celebrate this amazing anniversary with a special live stream show as well as the launch of their first album!
Earth Month Sustainable Living: City of Victoria Green Plans
The City of Victoria cares about sustainability and climate change and wants to inspire and aid citizens and businesses to live more sustainably. In 2017, they create a Climate Leadership Plan, full of goals, targets, and information on how the City aims to minimize the effects of climate change through early and wise actions now.
Earth Month Sustainable Living: Appreciating Natural Spaces
Whatever you like to do out in nature, from walking in the forest to beachcombing to ocean sports, the stores of downtown Victoria can help you with your next outdoor adventure. Getting out into the beauty of natural spaces is important, both for our own health and wellness and to help us appreciate the Earth.
Earth Month Sustainable Living: Alternative Transportation
Our cars and other vehicles are major polluters of our environment and our air. Finding alternative means of transportation, from biking to taking the bus to using a car share service, is a great way to reduce the effects of fuel-based vehicles' greenhouse gas emissions. Read on for more information on vehicles' environmental effects, great alternatives, and the downtown businesses that can help you!
This Puzzling Life
Puzzling is more popular than ever these days. Local company Puzzle Lab’s gorgeous, algorithm-driven, laser-cut wooden puzzles are a lovely way to disconnect and pass the time by yourself or with your "bubble-folk". Created by creatives and co-founders of Robazzo multi-disciplinary design practice Tinka and Andrew, read about their newest project, Puzzle Lab.
Earth Month Sustainable Living: Eco-Conscious Shops
The choices we make when we shop are important and can make a huge difference to both local businesses and the environment. There are many businesses downtown that care deeply about the environment and have eco-conscious initiatives, goals, and business plans. By supporting them, you help support their efforts and you can feel great about your purchase, especially during Earth Month!
Earth Month Sustainable Living: Supporting Local Businesses
April is Earth Month and one fantastic way to live sustainably is to support local businesses! Whether it's a retail shop, a grocery store, a restaurant, or a supplier, they help keep our city a unique and diverse place, re-invest more money into our community, and support the community through creating local jobs.
