I've been working at Tooketree for nearly three years. Our team crafts an incredible product - a building system for homes that are extraordinarily durable and resilient, and that meet world-class standards for energy efficiency. And they were designed to be a climate solution!

Neato! Congrats to the crew at @HutchesonSand! doppleronline.ca/huntsville/hut…

"Victoria may be seeing a lot more green in its future. But not where you’d expect it. Councilors Matt Dell and Jeremy Caradonna tabled a motion on Jan. 11 to remove barriers to adding green roofs to Victoria’s built environment." livingarchitecturemonitor.com/news/victoria-…

“The hurdle of raising over $20 million in two years was surmounted by the volunteers’ tremendous efforts. This marked the first time in New Zealand that such an enormous sum was raised entirely by community volunteers.” #GreenRoof #LivingRoof 💚@GRHCna livingarchitecturemonitor.com/articles/unvei…

@jannarden Are you selling that? I need one.

What is this?

People are creating gorgeous sanctuaries and habitats on roofs. Our constructed landscapes can be wrapped in nature with its many gifts. Check out ⁦@GRHCna⁩’s Living Architecture Monitor for inspiration and hope. Oh and Happy New Year! livingarchitecturemonitor.com/articles/plant…

‘Well, you know, stop looking all around the world, just think about where you are, or some project that you really care about, and roll up your sleeves and do something about that.’ Thanks for the good advice, @JaneGoodallInst and @thenarwhalca. thenarwhal.ca/jane-goodall-h…

This is a fascinating article from @NatGeo; lights up one’s imagination and curiosity. nationalgeographic.com/environment/ar…

Mini experiments with interesting results @granitegcgreens

Good times!

This week we’re collecting #OM246 samples along with our Clegg surface firmness and moisture readings. Going forward, we’ll be tracking this data as a combo to get a more complete picture of the greens’ surface, and to assist in management decisions.

@MattRichterGPO A casual drive around Bracebridge will also show a significant number of Green Party lawn signs, including ours. Best of luck tomorrow. We are so close to turning PS-M Green!!

Two things that keep us in business: coffee and soil.

This is devastating, heartbreaking and completely unacceptable. My deepest sympathy goes out to those affected by this string of mass shootings in the USA. So, so sad for those who lost their lives. Make it stop. #GunControlNow

@paceturf Beauty!

It seemed like this Luna moth wanted to be seen and appreciated. Done and done.

It's #WorldBeeDay today, a time to celebrate bees and everything that they do for us! "LIttle Bees", written and produced by MWC member Bet Smith from Betty and the Turnips, is an catchy tune about bees for the young and not so young ones in your life! 🐝 youtu.be/Fzza1YEaZYs
