One Million Acts of Green
The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos, Canada’s late-night talk show, and Ciscoare partnering to spearhead a massive, nationwide environmental movement.
This fall, CBC and The Hour will mobilize Canadians to commit One Million Acts of Green (OMAoG). In partnership with Cisco, and the power of their ‘Human Network Effect’, the collective goal is to change how we live and how we treat the planet, one act at a time.
OMAoG exemplifies what Canadians do best, being a part of a collective. To be bigger than the individual, and to see what can be achieved by working together in a human network, is intrinsically Canadian. The goal is set: the challenge is on to make our lives, our communities, and our environment greener.
One Million Acts of Green, one act at a time
