This event features Sean James (NPD) speaking on how to enhance our local, natural and urban, landscapes to ensure a healthy environment for our children! We will learn about the importance, beauty and joy of the use of non-invasive, ‘native’ plant species for low-water, ‘low-maintenance’ gardens. And how to apply such smart gardening practices in our own backyards using plants that are natural to the Milton area. Sean is a local horticultural expert and natural landscaper.

Then, Greg Hill (Certified Arborist) will present information about the significance and challenges of biodiversity in urban forest environments both above and below ground! Find out how to keep your trees beautiful for future generations by knowing what to do to encourage their survival.

It will provide a forum for Milton residents to celebrate both: the International Day of Biological Diversity (May 22), and the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity (i.e., to contribute to the implementation of a Biodiversity Strategic Plan).

Come prepared with your questions and ready for a chance to win non-invasive ‘native’ plants to use this spring in your own backyard.

This event, hosted by MiltonGreen Environmental Association. The event is presented in partnership with Halton Environment Network and Fern Ridge Landscaping and Eco-Consulting, through a grant from the OTF. MiltonGreen is a member of the Halton-Peel Biodiversity Network.

Monetary donations graciously accepted.

Find out where you can acquire ‘Native Plant Species’. One such place will be the Milton Horticultural Society Plant Sale, Thursday, May 17th at 7:00pm at the Milton Fairgrounds (Hall 1 & 2), 136 Robert Street. There will be many garden varieties.

Do you believe that the ideology of "endless growth" is no longer one we can build our world upon? Do you believe we are arriving at, if not already past, peak oil production levels?

MiltonGreen Environmental Association will host a free event on Thursday, April 12 to address these concerns by informing and actively engaging Miltonians in initiatives to live/work/eat/shop locally.

The evening begins with a one-hour screening of "Escape from Suburbia -local solutions to the energy dilemma". Director, Gregory Greene, examines the declining world oil production and its effects on (North) America's suburban life, and the subtle relationships between the potential solutions each person faces as the demand for fossil fuels out stretches supply. He deals with the complex layers involved with transportation, urban density, local farming, industrial agriculture, over-population, renewable energy and governmental attitudes toward peak oil. In the film he also makes it clear that time is running out,but solutions do exist. 

The film will be followed by Milton Councilor Zeeshan Hamid, speaking about the Derry Green Business Park and incentives for local businesses to be green, as well as other sustainable Town planning. A representative of, Eat Local Burlington will also be on hand, www.meetup.com/eatlocalburlington. There will be an opportunity to share your ideas and questions.

Monetary Donations Graciously Accepted.

If you have any questions or need more information about the event please email / call us.

Hope you can make it.

The event is presented through partnership with Eat Local Burlington and the Halton Environmental Network(HEN) with funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Can we go from a world powered by fossil-fuels and nuclear power to one powered by renewable energy, and what would happen if we tried? By putting it into context the director enables us to discover how to make a difference in our own life through our ability to be part of a clean energy future and an empowered community.
Flick the switch, turn the key, press the button, and pay the Bill! Multiply that by 6 billion and you’ve got a picture of energy consumption on Earth today. We are hard-wired to a conventional energy system regrettably depleting our resources, polluting our air and affecting global climate change.

POWERFUL showcases the remarkable achievements and inspiring examples of people and communities pursuing a path of conservation and renewable energy. Tackling the spin of the big energy lobby and, equally dispelling the myths of a “green utopia” envisioned by many, POWERFUL is a candid examination of what a sustainable future may actually look like.
