In this episode, I talk with Jessica Correa about Random Acts of Green. Random Acts of Green is a social enterprise founded by Jess that aims to educate, engage, and empower the public to participate in sustainable behaviour, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and combat climate change. The enterprise has been extremely successful: it has received national media coverage on CBC and CTV News, and designated an “Agent of Change” status by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, and the Centre for Social Innovation. Random Acts of Green is profoundly social in its outreach; if you’ve committed to begin living more sustainably, no matter how basic, Random Acts of Green wants to know about it! Participate in and share your green behaviour by visiting their website raog.ca, and follow Random Acts of Green on facebook, Instagram @randomactsofgreen, and twitter @randomactsgreen. You can also now get the brilliant Random Acts of Green t-shirts made from recycled bottles and organic cotton. 

 

Jessica Correa holds a Masters degree in Sustainability Studies from Trent University, and has worked for Algonquin Provincial Park, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, and the County of Peterborough Waste Management Department.
