There are also opportunities to get involved in making your home and community more sustainabile. Here in Hamilton, Green Venture empowers community members to implement greener practices in their homes and communities to make our city a climate champion. Youth ages 14-24 are invited to join their virtual, bi-weekly YouthQuake meetings for drop-in-style eco conversations! Recent topics have included waste, consumerism, fast fashion, food choices, and more. The conversations are youth-led, and guided by Green Venture staff.
