Welcome to KEN!

The KEN core team has been busily putting together a new seminar series for 2010. The theme is "Savings" -- saving the environment and the pocket book! The details of time and date are still being worked out and will be posted here. In the meantime, you can look forward to the following seminars

• All About Recycling, Green Bins, and Garbage Reduction.
  Feb 25: Waste Not, Want Not, Kanata Baptist Church, 465 Hazeldean Rd., 7pm
  We will eliminate the confusion about what goes in which box. We will also share ideas about how to reduce garbage by avoiding packaging and other means.

 

• Reducing Household Electrical Energy Use. (May) Find ways to reduce your household electrical bill and learn about the soon-to-be-implemented "Time of Use" billing.

 

• Homegrown Vegetable Gardening. (Apr) This will be a primer on how to start a basic vegetable garden in the suburbs. You can save money on the grocery bill and have fun with the kids in the garden.

 

• Reducing Food Waste. Learn about how much food is wasted in the typical Canadian family. We'll share novel ways to reduce this waste, help you save money, and reduce your food footprint!

 

The Kanata Environmental Network (KEN for short) is a volunteer-run organization in the community of Kanata, Ontario. We share information about sound environmental practices, encourage sustainable lifestyles that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote ecological gardening.
