Green Action Centre
Green Action Centre is an environmental organization based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It works to promote greener living through environmental education for households, workplaces, schools, and communities. It also develops and advocates environmental policies for Manitoba communities. Its primary areas of activity include green commuting, composting and waste, sustainable living and resource conservation.
== History ==

In the early 1980s in Manitoba, a group of citizens and environmental activists held meetings at Westminister Church in Winnipeg to share concerns about the amount of waste that was then going to landfill. On February 14, 1985, they founded the Recycling Council of Manitoba (RCM) with the goal of promoting recycling. Members of the Council included individuals, schools, recycling groups and municipal officials in communities across the province of Manitoba. The new organization held a number of special recycling events, which proved overwhelmingly popular with city residents. Subsequently, the Council set about creating ongoing recycling depots in various locations around Winnipeg, such as community centres. Much of the work of collecting, sorting and shipping the recyclables was done by volunteers. The group also met with City of Winnipeg and Manitoba provincial officials to urge establishment of a permanent recycling (blue box) program for Winnipeg. In 1989, the Recycling Council of Manitoba helped form the Manitoba Recycling Action Committee to promote the idea of producer responsibility in Manitoba.〔()〕 In short, in Manitoba as elsewhere across Canada, the movement for municipal solid waste recycling was led by citizens. The Recycling Council played a key role in demonstrating not only the practicality of recycling, but also the strong public demand for it. By 1996, with a Waste Reduction and Prevention Act in place provincially and a new crown entity (the Manitoba Product Stewardship Corporation) in position to administer beverage container levies collected at retail, members of the Recycling Council voted to change the name to Resource Conservation Manitoba (sticking with the RCM initials).
The reinvented organization declared a broader mission in the promotion of ecological sustainability and ventured into new areas beyond waste reduction -- climate change, sustainable transportation and green living. New initiatives were developed and additional staff were hired to conduct programs of public environmental education. After operating for more than a decade as Resource Conservation Manitoba, members decided in March 2010 to change the group's name once again -- this time to Green Action Centre (effective in September 2010). Today, the organization is involved in a broad range of environmental education initiatives in Manitoba.
