RECYCLING PILOT PROGRAM - PHASE II:

This assessment and pilot program, run by I-SEA, is to provide the data needed to determine the costs of running an island-wide recycling program in public spaces. If we can manage our waste in these high tourist and resident traffic areas we are one step closer to addressing commercial waste and recycling issues on Salt Spring.

See more information about the program here.

I-SEA

Sustainability can be a “many splendored thing”, uncovering, illuminating, and advancing all that makes up an enriching, vibrant, and healthful quality of life. While many humans likely have an innate sense of what sustainability is and how it can be nurtured, we all probably can benefit from further exploring, contemplating, practicing, and evolving our sustainability ideas at home, work, and play. The Institute for Sustainability Education & Action (I-SEA) was created to broaden and deepen the understanding, appreciation, and commitment to sustainability locally throughout the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, as well as internationally.
