Vanice Floating Village
Do you want to know that your waste and recycling are being handled locally, creating inclusive green jobs, and helping to build a hardy, close to source re-manufacturing economy? With the last of Vancouver's light industrial land nestled around the Viaducts, Vancouver has the opportunity to create its first eco-industrial Green Hub, and close your waste loop locally. The local solution starts here.
Vancouver's first eco-industrial green hub
It's a beautiful day.... you're biking into work from East Van.... you're on the Skytrain taking your lods to a sporting event at BC Place.... you're chaperoning your Grade 9 students on a field trip to the VAG.... you're showing off your city to your relatives, visiting from out of town....
With one glance to the landscape under the Viaducts, you are all seeing part of what it takes to go where we need to go.... you are gazing upon part of the machine behind a vibrant, innovative, engaged and responsible GREEN city of the 21st Century.
`You're looking at Vancouver's first eco-industrial Green Hub, a collection of local trash busting, waste re-ducing, recycling, re-purposing and re-manufacturing organizations, working hard to do exactly what you want them to be doing with your waste....
Help you REDUCE it... help you understand what it takes, after we take it off your hands.... help you create LOCAL, INCLUSIVE, REAL, GREEN jobs.... help you CLOSE YOUR LOOP LOCALLY.... help you set an example....
As you cross back over the topography, leaving the glass towers of Vancouver's downtown behind you, those Grade 9 students, after their day at the VAG, your kids spilling out onto Pacific Boulevard from the Lions Game, they're all on your case now for a trip back to the city centre, but this time, they want to get under the 'Ducts to check out the real action of their city!
And that conversation you had alter dinner last night, with your out of town visitors, explaining the do's and don'ts of your household Blue Box, and the guest-friendly green bin instructions for the leftovers and food scraps from your feast, they're getting the picture now too, and so are you....
Nothing goes away.
How proud are you, to be passing through Vancouver's last, centrally zoned, light industrial Green Hub, 2 minutes from the glass towers?
It's all about GREEN, it's all GOOD. You feel GREAT!
