“It’s not a dump,” he said. “It’s a facility.” I go inside a waste facility in Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc, showing how the Nation and a local partner turned a landfill into a circular waste management facility. Check out my latest in @thetyee.ca's What Works section: thetyee.ca/WhatWorks/20...

Hey Bluesky! Do you know someone doing something cool for the planet? Well, I'm all ears! I help run a business section called What Works for The Tyee and I'm taking pitches. Basically, we profile people who run businesses — non-profits and for-profits — that are green and sustainable in some way.

A little while ago, I read a story that found a third of transit agencies in Washington state don't collect fares. That led me to dive deeper into the fare-free concept for the @thetyee.ca's What Works series! And how, if at all, it can be replicated elsewhere. thetyee.ca/WhatWorks/20...

For more than three years, Elwyn Thom has collected furniture destined for the dump, fixing it up and reselling the pieces at a discounted price. In December, I visited his storefront to learn why. Check out my latest in the Tyee: thetyee.ca/WhatWorks/20...

Bahram Rashti co-founded UP two years ago. “We said, ‘Let’s do it — big enough to not just feed B.C., but for Western Canada, and eventually all of Canada.’” If that sounds ambitious, the operation lately has received a boost from an unlikely source. Read more below! thetyee.ca/WhatWorks/20...

“It was a one-horse town and the horse died.” For @fvcurrent.bsky.social, I had the pleasure of travelling to Boston Bar to write about a bowling alley, which is so much more than a bowling alley. Check out why! fvcurrent.com/p/boston-bar...

This feature by @joshkozelj27.bsky.social is a beautiful look at Boston Bar’s community heart. Yes it’s about bowling, but it’s also about friendship and connection and community values.
