What a week at the ZooShare biogas plant! 🌱⚡

We were excited to welcome over 70 students and teachers from Brebeuf College School (Grades 9–12) for a day of learning about renewable energy, food waste diversion, and sustainability in action.

With such a large group, students split into two teams — while one group toured the biogas plant, the other explored the beautiful trails of Rouge National Park before switching activities. A perfect combination of environmental education, clean energy, and outdoor learning!

🌎 Happy Earth Day from ZooShare! 🌱

Every day, food waste from local businesses and communities arrives at the ZooShare Biogas Plant. Instead of ending up in landfill — where it would produce harmful methane — that waste is transformed into renewable energy and nutrient-rich fertilizer.

This Earth Day, we're celebrating a simple but powerful idea:
♻️ Waste isn’t waste — it’s a resource.

By turning food waste into clean biogas, we’re:
⚡ Generating renewable energy
🌍 Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
🌱 Creating sustainable fertilizer for local farms
🤝 Supporting a circular economy in our community

Small actions add up to big change — and together, we’re helping build a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎💚

High gas prices got you down? ⛽😩

Electric vehicles powered by renewable energy — including biogas — can help you avoid the rollercoaster of gas prices while reducing emissions at the same time. ⚡🚗

Biogas turns food waste and other organic materials into clean, renewable energy — powering homes, businesses, and even EVs. That means cleaner air, less waste, and more predictable energy costs. 🌱♻️

Even better — the Canadian federal EV rebate is back, making it more affordable than ever to make the switch.

Drive electric.
Power it with renewables.
Leave gas price frustration behind.
