Getting back into blogging
It’s been a loooooong time since I’ve posted on my blog, The Eco Advocate, and have since posted so many ideas, frustrations and inspirations on Facebook that I’ve pretty much turned it into a blog… But Facebook really doesn’t do it justice, so with all these things going around in my brain, I’m about to explode.
‘I need a blog!!!’ I was thinking. But, wait. I have one! Silly me.
Time to remember my login and start typing again. Even if it’s just for me. : ) If anyone out there is reading this, hope you like it!
Some things I’ve been sharing on Facebook lately:

This file photo released by Greenpeace shows the boat Arctic Sunrise reaching 'the ice bridge' in the Robeson channel, near the border between Greenland and Canada on September 14, 2009. Research published in a top scientific journal says Arctic sea ice has declined more in the last half-century than it has any time over the last 1,450 years.

15 Food Companies that Serve You ‘Wood’
Not sure if this applies in Canada, but at least in the US, there’s a lot more in your food than you’d like to know. Like tree fibers. Yum…

The EU has provisionally imposed penalties severe enough to make it difficult for Canada to sell tar sands oil in Europe, but Britain is working to undermine that stance. Photograph: Jeff Mcintosh/AP (Via The Guardian)
Britain’s promotion of Canada’s tar sands oil is idiotic
Now that the US has temporarily declined the Keystone pipeline, Canada pressures the UK to import our oil – and for some idiotic reason they seem to be bowing to that pressure. I think Harper’s a bully. Not cool.

Hi!

Whoa! That’s incredible. No I don’t know anyone who has made one of these (mostly because I don’t know anyone with enough backyard space). But I should! Thanks for sharing that incredible link!
