Planet Friendly, with PlanetFriendly

One of my earliest recollections of web resources I came across while studying biology in university was "People- & Planet-Friendly".  From this website, I learned about publicly available talks on environmentally-related topics that I could attend for free in Toronto.  I attended one, which was conveniently held at my university.  There were many people in attendance, all interested in or passionate about the topic.

"People- & Planet-Friendly" has since then been renamed as People and Planet, though today may sometimes be still known as "Planetfriendly".  This web resource acts as a gateway to other environmentally related resources, topics and activities across Canada.  They have an event listings calendar, a job postings site, and a volunteer postings site.  They also provide a directory that organizes information and resources by different themes.
 

So wherever you are, have a search.  You may just be a click away from that green job, volunteer position, or nearby activity!
