Whether you're a filmmaker, an environmentalist or just someone who cares about sustainability and wants to get involved - here's your chance to win some cash, prizes and gain some exposure.

In March of 2011, the Freinds of the Greenbelt Foundation is hosting a Global Greenbelts Conference to promote awareness of greenbelts around the world by sharing successes and challenges of what different countries, states and provinces are doing to protect land, water and wildlife across the globe.

My cycling season has been ram-jammed with fun, challenging and FAST rides. I love pushing my limits and I'm always looking to improve. But, for the first time this summer I did a bike ride that was truly about relaxing and soaking it all in, and it was exactly what I needed.

Today, I got the amazing opportunity to check out the "meander" route for September 11th's Tour de Greenbelt!  Off I went at 9am with the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation and other media people to check out what's in store for the riders on this upcoming Greenbelt Tour!

When he lived in Toronto, my brother did extensive camping and hiking through Ontario.  Now he lives in Canberra, Australia and is surrounded by some amazing scenery and gets to nature reserves and explores the natural surroundings of his new home as much as he did the old one.  During his visit back to Ontario this summer I was determined to show him a part of the Greenbelt that would top all of that and be like nothing else he’d seen on either side of the globe.  Up for the challenge was Tobermory and the Bruce Peninsula!

Are you concerned about where your food is coming from and what your children are eating? Do movies like Food, Inc. leave you feeling helpless, like you can’t change the direction in which the planet is heading? FRESH The Movie will educate and inspire you, leaving you feeling hopeful – and a little hungry. FRESH is a new film by Ana Joanes, that examines the cost of our industrial food system and offers a practical alternative for how we grow, buy and eat our food.

The Tour de Greenbelt wants you to appreciate what the Ontario Greenbelt offers! Over the course of 2 weekends (September 11th and 12th &  September 25th and 26th) the cycling routes through Greenbelt Ontario will showcase local producers/farmers and wildlife conservations! As a rider you'll have the opportunity to stop and take it all in!

This past Friday I spoke with Eric Hambly from Siolam Orchards, which is one of the major stops on the September 26th route!

I’m totally excited to be a guest blogger for the Tour de Greenbelt 2010!! I'll do my best to post fun, cool information about the Tour de Greenbelt on the Greenbelt’s blog @ greenbelt.posterous.com and my own blog @ rocketgirlblog.com.  I’m stoked to talk to some past participants, some local producers and to do some “Touring” of my own this year too (I missed it last year due to a trip)!!
