TITLE, COMPANY (if relevant) | Bullfrog Power green champion
I was a skeptic about global warming for many years, having watched earlier apocalyptic warnings about things like the population time bomb fizzle, and warnings about a new ice age melt away in the 1970s.
Yet, as a professional futurist, the evidence eventually forced me to accept that I was wrong, and so I made new assessments based on that evidence. It’s crystal clear now that climate change is happening, and that humanity is at least a major contributor, if not the primary factor in provoking climate change. And if you really accept that, and are honest with yourself, then you must also do something about it. This is especially true as extreme weather events, such as the Texas deep freeze, or more violent hurricanes, are now widespread, and are making the consequences of climate change obvious. We have an obligation to do what we can, as quickly as we can.
My family and I recycled glass and bottles before there were blue bins. We composted before green bins appeared. We have bought progressively more fuel-efficient cars each time, and take transit as first preference when we can. We switched first, to compact fluorescents, and now to LEDs before there were incentives. So, when the opportunity arose to buy 100 per cent renewable energy through Bullfrog, we decided that the extra cost was not a cost at all, but an investment in securing not only our grandchildrens’ lives in the far future, but our own, right now!
And as more and more people have bought into green power, the economies of scale are making it less expensive than carbon-polluting power. It has become a double win for us all.
Thousands of people bullfrogpower their homes with green electricity, green natural gas, or both. Together, these green champions are shrinking their carbon footprints, transitioning our energy systems to clean sources, and showing others that the future is renewable.

Solar | Community project we're supporting
From zoo poo to poo power—that’s the goal of ZooShare, an Ontario co-op working with the Toronto Zoo to launch North America’s first zoo-based biogas project. When completed, the 500 kW facility will recycle manure from the zoo and food waste from local grocery stores into renewable energy. Bullfrog is one of the Founding Investors in addition to being the project’s official Education Sponsor, funding education programs for public school students.
Here is some text about what the video is about. You should really watch it. Like now.
Activists and organizers across the country are working to transition their communities away from fossil fuels. We created our community-based green energy projects grant to provide critical funding for these local efforts.
All bullfrogpowered customers help fund these small-scale, community-led projects, including solar panels on schools and in Indigenous communities, education and training programs, and a cleantech accelerator.
Executive Director, ZooShare | Toronto, ON
Sustainable manure management
ZooShare is a biogas story now being told in the GTA (to Zoo visitors, schoolchildren, professionals and politicians), Zoo poo jokes and all, and it’s incredibly meaningful. We’ll be converting approximately 17,000 tonnes of organic waste into renewable power and fertilizer each year, resulting in greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to 10,000 tonnes per year—it’s going to be amazing.
For the Zoo and our investors, this project will bring financial returns and more sustainable manure management. For the community, it’s going to divert valuable organic waste away from landfills, and create educational opportunities around the benefits of biogas. And for the biogas sector and provincial regulators, it’s a high profile example of what biogas is and how powerful it can be as a tool to divert waste, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and generate green energy and fertilizer.
We want to change the way kids (and adults alike!) see waste
This project will hopefully shift behaviours for all those who experience and interact with the biogas plant or our educational programming. In the same way that I learned about recycling in elementary school and then started to recycle at home, we want to change the way kids (and adults alike!) see waste, having them use the green bin rather than the garbage. It’s a simple, yet powerful change that each of us can make every day.
Be mindful of your waste
If I had a message for all Canadians it would be—be mindful of your waste. Ask yourself, where in your life are you creating waste? And I don’t mean only physical waste, like spoiled food in the fridge. Maybe it’s with your energy use or perhaps it’s with your time. Stopping these ‘leaks’ and shifting your behaviours to make as little waste as possible could make a significant impact on your life and in your community.
For us, ZooShare is the beginning of something really great…
ZooShare is an Ontario renewable energy co-operative building North America’s first zoo-based biogas plant. The 500 kW facility will recycle manure from the Toronto Zoo and food waste from local grocery stores into renewable power and fertilizer, reducing GHG emissions by over 10,000 tonnes per year. Bullfrog is one of ZooShare’s Founding Investors and its official Education Sponsor, helping to fund biogas workshops and related educational programming for public school students.

Currents of Change are portraits, thoughts and ideas from Canadians helping to transform the energy landscape through renewable energy. Bullfrog profiles changemakers who are creating powerful currents in their communities. Those featured have either helped build a green energy project, financially supported by the bullfrogpowered community, or they are a member of the bullfrogpowered community, supporting green energy projects across Canada.
Our email newsletter, the Bullfrog eBuzz, will keep you connected and informed. The eBuzz covers the green energy projects we support, industry insights, new products, and more.
