Get Around
Is your sweetie sick of gas-guzzling cars and not a fan of cramming onto public transportation with a bunch of stinky, germy strangers?

Planet Wine
Lifford Wine Agency (http://www.liffordwineagency.com/), one of Canada's top wine importers, is once again leading the pack. The very existence of the wine industry is totally dependent upon a responsible and healthy relationship with nature. Lifford president Steven Campbell recognizes that environmental leadership is an urgent priority. As he says, "We have not inherited the earth from our forefathers; we are merely borrowing it from our children." Lifford's newest offering, plantatree , is Lifford Wine Agency's gift to the community and is being operated on a non profit basis. Lifford's goal is to plant 1,000,000 trees in Canada, through a strong partnership with Tree Canada over the next two years.
