Original investigative reporting: Environmental stewardship

It’s a great honour to help make waves of change especially when it comes to taking action against plastic pollution.

We may be only a short time away from having a concrete national plastics strategy in Canada.

Being one of the first journalists to put out this important information really underpins why we in the Canadian media do what we do to disseminate information. Driving the national news agenda and hopefully creating waves of change. Lets see what comes out of an upcoming meeting that could serve as the forum for this big announcement if all goes as signals suggest.

Original investigative sourcing, reporting for TV, Web and of course writing the full context in this Weather Network article.

Read it for yourself, the statistics are staggering.

Only 11 per cent of plastics are recycled in Canada. The rest end up in our landfills, lakes, parks and oceans, destroying ecosystems and leaching toxic chemicals.

Watch within the article to see the sit-down-chat with Environmental Defence.

 

Welcome to the Weather World

It’s a fascinating blend of journalism, environment, technology, broadcasting, forecasting and performance. Here are some behind the scene shots from the green screens and studio to active weather reporting in the elements in storm systems. All from the past few months at The Weather Network.
