Earth Day at the Vancouver Compost Garden – Honda’s Insight Introduced in Canada

Earth Day
April 22, 2009

Garry Sowerby, who is in the “Guinness Book of World Records” for the record time of driving around the world, visited us at the Vancouver Compost Garden this Earth Day morning, as part of his cross-country trip to introduce the country to Honda’s ‘greenest’ car, the Insight.

Gary says, “We are doing an environmental program called Insight into Canada that hinges on a month-long environmental journey across Canada starting on April 21 in Victoria. The drive will be implemented in a new Honda Insight Hybrid and will see 25 teams of journalists hand the car off over 25 legs on the trek.”

“Along the way we will be checking the environmental pulse of the country by visiting earth-friendly places and inspirational people who are doing their share to lessen our country’s carbon footprint, reduce energy use or improve recycling efforts.”
