Heather Govender's Company Details
Green Venture is a community-based non-profit organization committed to helping residents live more sustainably at home, at work, and in their daily lives. Green Venture grew out of a partnership formed in 1994 between the Region of Hamilton-Wentworth, Province of Ontario, Utilities, Private sector environmental companies, and Community organizations. We provide information and services that help individuals reduce their impact on the environment and improve public health through improved air, water, and soil initiatives. Our activities can be categorized as energy conservation, water conservation, waste and toxics reduction, green gardening and alternative transportation. Our programming aims to reduce the barriers to adopting more environmentally sustainable technologies or behaviours. Since late 2004, Green Venture has been developing EcoHouse in East-Hamilton; a model home for the community to experience greener living. Visitors can see in action cutting edge products and technologies, in addition to time-honoured solutions for sustainable living. EcoHouse also serves as Green Venture's storefront office, environmental resource center, and workshop facility.
