Alberta Ecotrust Filling the Environmental Funding GapJun 11, 2009 What do bears, bicycles, and energy-efficient buildings have in common? What about the boreal forest and water stewardship? Sour gas research, parks planning, and behavior change? All of them are the focus of projects championed by Alberta environmental organizations that were recently awarded grants from Alberta Ecotrust totaling approximately $150,000. Selected from among 22 proposals by a committee comprising partners from the corporate and environmental NGO sectors, the eight projects that received grants all address pressing environmental concerns. For the first time in 12 years, for example, the Province is considering changes to the way it allocates water - who gets it, how much of it, and when. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Water Matters, a provincial water stewardship group, developed a program to increase the water awareness of Albertans and encourage their participation in upcoming public consultations. The project received a grant of $28,500, which, says executive director Danielle Droitsch, "will allow us to advance common sense proposals to conserve healthy water flows and meet basic human water needs."
