Too often environmentally destructive behaviour goes unnoticed and unregulated.  Our economic system rewards companies that over pollute, and hinders individuals from acting positively.  We seldom celebrate the environmentally positive things people do every day in our communities. Every year, during Waste Reduction Week, Resource Conservation Manitoba turns this disparity on its head with our Enviro-Spy program.  

The Enviro-spies program rewards individuals caught doing “Random Acts of Greenness”.  This year, our volunteer Enviro-Spies spread out across the city to the University of Winnipeg, the University of Manitoba and several high schools, middle schools and even an elementary school.  Rewards, including bike lights, shopping bags and notepads made from recycled material were given for things like riding a bicycle to school or using a reusable coffee cup.
