We underestimate the power of knowledge sharing. As a society, the majority of us believe we know everything that needs to be known and act based on the knowledge we think we have. This has proven to be detrimental to our world. If we continue to let our ego’s cloud our vision, we will continue making decisions (not necessarily in the form of solutions) for … Continue reading Rylan Dobson & Water Stewardship | The Positive Change
It’s crazy how small the world can be with most things happening for some reason or the other. When I lived in Kelowna, I had the great luck to have some of the best landlords I’ve ever had. And until recently, months and maybe even a year after I left, I find out that the household I was a part of as a tenant followed … Continue reading Veganism with Elisha Lonegren | The Positive Change

This was a truly exciting event, not only because it was a way to experiment new foods, but it was also a great way to bring people together (vegan or not) to have a conversation on Veganism. The vendor list really highlights that all the vendors are, in … Continue reading The Vegan Night Market | The Positive Change

It may seem negative or daunting, discussing the impact of global warming and how it can change our world completely for future generations – but there is definitely a positive in this. Not only should this serve as motivation for us to make a change, … Continue reading Climate Future Series | The Positive Change
3 billion plastic toothbrushes end up in landfills and waterways EVERY YEAR. Let’s be real – that’s a shocking statistic. And that’s a huge problem. I had the chance to learn from and interview James Staley, one of the inspiring minds behind recently launched SmileBambu. In all honesty, this is one of the posts I’d recommend we all read because of the reality-checks, and how … Continue reading SmileBambu | The Positive Change
The entire thought process and purpose behind this blog is to share, and then to learn from all this shared knowledge and use it in our lives to make the positive change.

The Event: … Continue reading Advice for Sustainable Business Entrepreneurs | The Positive Change
