I have lived in Ottawa most of my life and I’ve been telling people that I want to be an environmentalist since at least grade 5, so that’s a good 20 years or so of experience in practicing urban environmentalism in Ottawa.
Although I’ve wanted to live rightly in relation to the more-than-human world since a young age, it’s not often that easy to do so. Practicing urban environmentalism seems to require hours and hours of research. I’ve put together this blog to share what I’ve discovered in trying to lead a green life here in Ottawa.
Most of what I share I know from first hand experience, though I will occasionally share things that someone else has told me or that I’ve found in doing research of my own but have not yet acted on. I’ll also post events that might be of interest to others living greenly in Ottawa. Again, events in Ottawa are not always that easy to find out about.
I hope you find this site useful. Please post comments regarding ways of living greenly in cities or to report other sources of environmentally-friendly products or events or organizations in Ottawa.
Greenly yours,
Alette Willis

All comments are moderated, which means I have to see them before they are posted so please expect a delay when commenting.
Tags versus Categories. If you want to search my site by category you need to click on the category in the right hand column. If you click on the “category” tag beneath an entry title you’ll get all entries on wordpress that have been categorized with that tag. Hey, I didn’t develop the wordpress program, I just use it.
