Corpobligation announces composting initiative in Ottawa, Canada

Corpobligation is pleased to announce a new initiative in Ottawa-Gatineau, Canada, to promote Composting Now Everywhere

Corpobligation hopes to influence consumers and businesses to improve their composting efforts and exceed existing programs in cities like Toronto. The initiative will involve NGOs in the Ottawa-Gatineau area as well as business and civil society organizations.

"Composting is possible in almost any size home, business or apartment" states Mathieu Jacques, the Composting Now Everywhere Co-Coordinator, "the key is to get knowledge and composters into the hands of consumers and businesses."

"How can I compost in a business or apartment building?" "Doesn't it smell?" These are just some of the doubts that need to be overcome before composting comes into its own. Ottawa is a prime location for testing new initiatives because of its educated population and its strong connections with nature through Gatineau Park, Quebec and many outdoor sporting activies including the longest skating rink in the world (Rideau Canal) and a world class ultimate league that fields over 70,000 playes per year (OCUA).

Corpobligation is excited about working with a wide variety of stakeholders on the issue and welcomes feedback and contributions at their site: www.corpobligation.com.

"Civil society can be the key to altering everyday habits and we hope to be there to help share knowledge and experience," states Chanda Tannis, Co-Coordinator, "if my parents can do it, then hopefully we can convince others to do the same, whether they live in houses, apartments, and condos, or work in stores, factories or government!
