As people in Canada and countries around the world begin to discover the importance of changing our carbon footprint, the topic of sustainable living has grown in popularity.
An example of this trend is an exposition, occurring in Vancouver, which has started to take the first steps towards evolving public awareness of sustainable living.
EPIC!, the Vancouver Sun Sustainable Living Expo, is Western Canada’s only green consumer trade show and eco-friendly marketplace. In other words, it’s a place for Vancouverites, including a unique cross-section of businesses and other organizations, to progressively encourage and challenge each other to make green choices. The three-day event, held at the end of May, showcases the latest styles and advances inspiring the vision that consumer products can be earth-friendly and practical.

But nor was I going to head to the bar or a friend’s house, like every single other sentient Canadian. No, I wasn’t going to do any of that to watch the national team play the Americans for the ultimate in international sports acclaim. What I was going to do was sit in my basement apartment and watch the game alone so that I could work immediately before and immediately after it. He shoots, he scores.

Throughout the stress and fatigue-driven first few months of school, most students rejoice at the thought of reading week. Although, let’s be serious, reading is rarely the focus of the long awaited break from constant note taking and studying. After the daunting tasks of midterms have finally come to an end, we look forward to a week of track pants, endless movies, late nights, reunions with old friends, and of course delightful, home-cooked meals.
