Idle-Free Contest - Clean Calgary Association has a winner!
After launching a contest to design an idle-free decal on Earth Day and receiving numerous great entries, Clean Calgary Association has chosen a winning design. Doug Driediger’s graphic conveys a positive message to Calgarians supporting them to turn off their cars, it is very clear and inspires people to be idle-free. Doug is both excited to have won and to be part of this great initiative. He is also modest about his talents as an artist and his contributions to the non-profit sector in Calgary.

Ask Ashley
Why Carwashes Are Best
Q:
Dear Ashley,
My husband and I have a neighbour who washes his car at home at least twice a week throughout the summer and it makes my skin crawl to see all the water and soap going into the storm drain. I’m wondering what I could say to him without causing a big ruckus. It seems like a terrible waste, so any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Kindly,
Sally

The Reuse and Recycling Guide is filled with great tips and ideas for reducing waste and encouraging recycling in the city. The comprehensive guide is intended to become a resource for Calgarians.
Cell Phone Recycling
With cell phones becoming as superfluous as the advertisements that convince you that it is time for the newest model, one has to wonder what the impact is on the natural environment.
Dump the Junk Campaign

Tip of the Month
Avoid drinking bottled water
- Bottled water costs more per lire than gas for our cars.
- Bottled water often travels hundreds of kilometers to be sold while tap water travels from the rivers to our taps in Calgary.
- Every year, millions of water bottles end up in landfills in Canada.
- Calgary’s drinking water is very high quality and comparable to or even better than bottled water.
