The Story of Change

Last week we brought you the Story of Stuff video.

Today we follow up with the Story of Change.  This video “takes viewers through an inspiring exploration of what effective changemaking has looked like through history—from Gandhi in India to the US Civil Rights movement to the environmental victories of the 1970s—and shares the things you’ll find whenever people get together and change the world: a big idea, a commitment to working together, and a whole lot of action. She also let’s viewers know that making change will take all kinds of people, offers a series of changemaker identities and ends the movie with a question for viewers: Which are you?”

The Story of Stuff Project

Have you heard about The Story of Stuff video?

“The Story of Stuff Project’s journey began with a 20-minute online movie about the way we make, use and throw away all the Stuff in our lives.

We have a problem with Stuff. We use too much, too much of it is toxic and we don’t share it very well. But that’s not the way things have to be. Together, we can build a society based on better not more, sharing not selfishness, community not division.”

At Denbow, our services include recycling many different wood waste products that would otherwise likely be burned or fill landfills.  We use the materials we produce on various erosion and sediment control projects.  These applications save our soil from erosion and reduce sediment runoff in our water.  We believe that our “innovating naturally” solutions help us be better stewards.

Take the time to watch The Story of Stuff video… it will make you think!

The 10 Greenest Cities in the World

Vancouver is included on this list of the 10 Greenest Cities in the World.

At Denbow, we are honored to play a role in greening up Vancouver and our Fraser Valley with many of our Green Infrastructure products – from green roofs, roof-top gardens and urban gardens, to stormwater management and our Cascadia Green Wall System.

“Ambitious, necessary, and possible” is the road map for Vancouver becoming the greenest city by 2020.  “This plan sets the course toward realizing a healthy, prosperous, and resilient future for [Vancouver]. It calls on us all to rise to the challenge of transforming our community to create a better life for future generations.”  For more information and implementation updates, click here.
