In this week's issue of our environment newsletter, we learn what happened after a Toronto school 'daylighted' a buried creek through its schoolyard, take a look at a highrise in Halifax that set a new green energy record and visit a grocery store in Brandon, Man., that saves food and customers' money.
Every pallet of bread, potatoes or beef that arrives at the Food Rescue Grocery in Brandon keeps good food from going to waste. Even better, the operation has been so successful it has been moved to a bigger location.
Brandon's Food Rescue Grocery Store saved more than 300,000 pounds of food in 2022, and its new freezer warehouse will see the amount of food saved increase dramatically. New storage units have already saved more than 18,000 kilograms of food in March.
