In the Spring, Headwaters was approached by two grade 11 students from Orangeville District Secondary School (ODSS), Trinity and Victoria.
The dynamic duo, is part of the Believe Leadership Club at their school. This program was
created by Sarah Wells, an Olympic hurdler, and teaches the importance of leadership,
entrepreneurship and mental wellness to high school students.
As part of the program students are asked to create a passion project which is an initiative that has a goal to better the community.
Trinity and Victoria came up with the idea of creating libraries in our community to promote education and opportunity. With these libraries, a passerby can take a book and leave a book for others to read.

It’s no secret that for many Americans, homeownership is the primary means of building wealth. You put down some cash, secure a loan, buy a home, build equity over time, and eventually sell that home for a profit. But when a residential real estate market is as tight as Denver’s where the average single-family home price hit almost $630,000 earlier this year it can be tough for some people, especially first-time buyers, to get in on the action.

In our efforts to rein in our overwhelming burden upon Earth s living biosphere, every little thing adds up. Even the shape of pasta (of all things!) can make a difference in our consumption of resources.
Which is why scientists have now created flat-packed pasta that s more efficient to package and transport, but can then unfurl into shape once it s in the pot.
Food packaging is a huge contributor to landfills. In the US for instance, food packaging along with food waste makes up almost half of all solid consumer waste. But scientists estimate that flat-packed noodles could reduce pasta packaging by up to 60 percent, by eliminating all the air space included in different shaped pastas, like tubes of penne and spirals of fusilli, when packed.
