A solutions-focused blog dedicated to environmental living in Ottawa, Canada.

I started Green Living Ottawa in the spring of 2007 to share information and inspiration on environmentally-friendly living in Ottawa.  I have lived in Ottawa for most of my life and have tried to tread lightly on the more-than-human world since I was a teen.

In the fall of 2008 I took a two-year research position in Edinburgh, Scotland  While I am no longer posting on green living in Ottawa, archived posts are still on-line.  Most of these are still current and new comments are added by readers regularly.

I have had great feedback about the site and its usefulness.  During the last two years tens of thousands of people have read it and over 140 people have subscribed to it.  I would like to keep the blog fresh while I am in the U.K., so if you live in Ottawa or have visited the city and would like to write a post on some aspect of green living there, please contact me: alettewillis at gmail dot com.
