5 things to see at the Toronto Green Living Show 2012
23.05.12

This isn't the first I've heard of Swapsity , but it is the first I've heard of their face-to-face Toronto swaps, which happen sporadically throughout the year. At the show, they've organized a media swap — the idea is you bring along your previously loved DVDs, CDs, BlueRays, and Records. For each accepted item, you get a token to select and take a new-to-you item home. I only wish this booth had been better advertised in advance, as I would have brought a bunch of used DVDs I no longer watch along with me.
Birds in Your Backyard
A joint exhibit between a number of nature, bird, and conservation areas, including the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority , Birds in Your Backyard offers visitors a wealth of information about, well, the birds you see around your area. What really caught my attention here, however, was the live bird demonstrations. Running every hour between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., you can catch bird wranglers walking the floor with a variety of live birds to get up-close-and-personal with, including kestrels, hawks, and the Great Horned Owl.
