Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Monday revealed that it plans to be water positive, giving back more water than it uses directly, by 2030. Amazon's (AMZN) cloud business has long been exploring water sustainability and innovation, but this marks a new level of public commitment, said AWS CEO Adam Selipsky in an exclusive interview prior to the announcement. “This started as an internal goal a couple of years ago,” Selipsky told Yahoo Finance. “We’re really just externalizing that goal now."
