NEW INITIATIVE: The Dundas Eco-Motion Project
Leave the car at home & greenhouse gases behind. Environment Hamilton is back in Dundas and is working hard to promote and improve the use of sustainable transportation. The Dundas Eco-Motion Project (DEMP) is meant to encourage residents to walk, bike, rollerblade, or bus around their communities to reduce our carbon footprint and improve our health.
Alessandra Gage, student intern and project coordinator of DEMP is currently meeting with city councillors and local community groups to put this project in motion. All news & updates will be added to the project page (located under "Our Projects"), and residents are encouraged to keep an eye out for information posted in the Dundas Star.
If you would like to voice a concern or are interested in getting involved, please call Alessandra at 905-549-0900, or send an email to agage@environmenthamilton.org.

Make a Donation to the Hamilton Fruit Tree Project
Hamilton Fruit Tree Project is in search of funds for the 2010 season.
The increasing need in our community for access to local, organic, tasty fruit, the continual expansion of the volunteer list and generous tree owners wanting their trees and vines harvested make this project an important initiative and success but lack of funding decreases the amount of fruit harvested.
In partnership with Small Change Fund, Hamilton Fruit Tree Project is looking for donations, big and small!
Charitable tax receipts are available to anyone who makes a donation.

Thank you in advance for your support!
