As we navigate the challenges of climate change, the phrase “tread lightly” becomes a guiding principle for reducing our environmental impact.
In Barrie, private vehicles are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 55% of the total. It’s crucial for us to rethink how we move around our environment.
International Volunteer Year 2026 is the United Nations’ call to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary impact of volunteers around the world.
At Living Green Barrie, we are deeply grateful for the incredible community of volunteers who give their time, talent, skills, and care to support our work. From long-term leaders and Board members to first-time and short-term volunteers, each contribution helps power meaningful climate action right here in Barrie.
June Volunteer Spotlight: Paul
June’s climate action is Tread Lightly, a reminder that the choices we make – and the paths we take, can have a lasting impact. Sometimes treading lightly means reducing our environmental footprint. Other times, it means finding thoughtful, efficient ways to move forward, making the best use of our time, energy, and resources.
This month, we’re pleased to shine a spotlight on Paul, whose contributions have helped Living Green Barrie do exactly that.
Over the past several months, Paul has played a key role in helping us improve how we connect with our community online. With a thoughtful and collaborative approach, he has been working alongside staff and volunteers to enhance the visitor experience on our website, helping ensure that information is clear, accessible, and easy to find.
What stands out most about Paul’s volunteer work is not just what he does, but how he does it. He brings a steady focus on continuous improvement, offering practical suggestions, sharing knowledge, and helping others build confidence and skills along the way. His goal is never simply to fix a problem – it’s to create systems and processes that work better for everyone.
Thanks to Paul’s contributions, Living Green Barrie is better equipped to communicate effectively, collaborate efficiently, and focus our collective energy on creating meaningful impact in the community.
Just as a well-designed trail helps people navigate a natural space with ease, Paul’s contributions are helping create clearer pathways for the people who engage with Living Green Barrie. His work may happen largely behind the scenes, but its impact is felt by volunteers, staff, and community members alike.
Thank you, Paul, for helping Living Green Barrie tread lightly, work smarter, and continue growing in ways that benefit our entire community.
