My dining experience on Earth Day, April 22, 2008 was very memorable. One that I will never forget.
I
spent the day touring about 20 executives around a number of green
businesses in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. We enjoyed a fantastic
dining experience that evening courtesy of a small restaurant on Spring
Garden Road called Onyx.
The eight-course meal was unique in that
every course was served either raw or slightly smoked. The utensils
were organic, the wine was organic and all of the electricity in the
restaurant was turned off, including the lights (we ate by candlelight)
and fans. It was a great dinner to say the least.
A little while
later, a colleague mused that this kind of dining experience would make
for a great fundraiser for environmentally focused non-profits. Fast
forward a year or so, and presto -it is happening.
I am proud to share that Clean Air Champions
are taking the lead on this worthwhile cause and hosting the first
'Zero Energy Dinner' in Vancouver on August 25. If you are in the area
or have friends in the area, please check www.zeroenergydinners.com and pass it along.
You

Canadian athletes (including Adam Kreek) and learn how to make a
