Boxed Water is Better
The discovery of a massive gyre of plastic in the middle of the Pacific Ocean sent out shockwaves in 1997, but the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is no anomaly.

“Hello, handsome” likely wasn’t the greeting between Michael Phillips, Chris Owens, and Tyler Wells, as they first met while working the coffee circuit. Then again, Owens admits the impetus to start their company, Handsome Coffee Roasters, came about while he and Wells were on a “man-date”.

Reece Terris
FROM THE ARCHIVE: With jeans tattered and torn, skin leathery and tough, Reece Terris looks every bit the construction worker. At first glance, you wouldn’t suppose that one of Canada’s most promising visual artists was standing before you.
