"I am worried about greenwashing. I think we should come down on it very, very hard, whether it's with criminal intent or actively deceptive." - John Elkington, business author
There is a difference between "Sustainable" and "Energy-Efficient"
Zibi is proposing energy-efficient condos. This does not make the project sustainable.
A truly sustainable project begins with addressing who and what the land is for: This Sacred Island is an inapropriate place for condos, regardless of their energy-efficiency. Zibi's proposal in its conception, is simply not sustainable.
How much green space do you see in Zibi's plan?
What does sustainability mean? Who are all these buildings aiming to serve?
Zibi's marketing tactic is incredibly vigorous green-washing. What about social sustainability? Thousands have marched in protest of this development, and Zibi is facing the First Nations in court this September.
