The Story of Change

/in , , /by

Last week we brought you the Story of Stuff video.

Today we follow up with the Story of Change.  This video “takes viewers through an inspiring exploration of what effective changemaking has looked like through history—from Gandhi in India to the US Civil Rights movement to the environmental victories of the 1970s—and shares the things you’ll find whenever people get together and change the world: a big idea, a commitment to working together, and a whole lot of action. She also let’s viewers know that making change will take all kinds of people, offers a series of changemaker identities and ends the movie with a question for viewers: Which are you?”

Vancouver is included on this list of the 10 Greenest Cities in the World.

At Denbow, we are honored to play a role in greening up Vancouver and our Fraser Valley with many of our Green Infrastructure products – from green roofs, roof-top gardens and urban gardens, to stormwater management and our Cascadia Green Wall System.

“Ambitious, necessary, and possible” is the road map for Vancouver becoming the greenest city by 2020.  “This plan sets the course toward realizing a healthy, prosperous, and resilient future for [Vancouver]. It calls on us all to rise to the challenge of transforming our community to create a better life for future generations.”  For more information and implementation updates, click here.
