Looking up any topic on the Internet can be daunting. A search using the word "environment" in any search engine generates a plethora of results that may or may not be relevant to what you're looking for.
Enter thegreenpages.ca. Founded in 1997 by an environmental studies student at the University of Waterloo, Canada, and maintained with the dedication of volunteers, thegreenpages.ca is a portal that connects people to environmentally-related information and resources. Guided by their philosophy to "collect and archive environmental information and resources to help ordinary Canadians make sustainable life-style choices", this portal links to news and events from across Canada, and shares stories and articles from contributors. Other resources the portal links to include books (powered by Amazon), book reviews, a search engine (powered by Google), environmental education, and employment opportunities, all related to the environment.
This portal is more than just a website, it's an online venue for information sharing, and a network for community connection, engagement, and interaction. So check out the conversation, and see what's happening across Canada!
