Reel Green\u2122 Vendor,\u00a0The Earth Group<\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0is a social enterprise and B Corp that exists to provide school meals to children globally, while minimizing their impact on the planet wherever possible. They have provided over 3 million school meals globally and have 1500 locations that offer their products. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kori Chilibeck and Matt Moreau met in 2005 while working in Skiers Sportshop in Edmonton, Canada. Through extensive travel, their eyes were opened to the dire circumstances in which a large percentage of the world lives. This gave them both the sense of responsibility to do what they can to create positive change in the lives of people who need it most.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the interview chair this month, is Matt Moreau, Founder of The Earth Group. He brings us an inside look into what their operations and impacts look like partnering with the Reel Green<\/span>\u2122<\/span>\u00a0community and around the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. What was the intention behind starting your business?<\/strong>
\nWe wanted to have a business that addressed the inequality in our world. \u00a0Something that provided a tangible way for consumers to make a positive difference in the life of someone who to no fault of their own was born into difficult circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. H<\/strong><\/em>ow are you partnering with the B.C. film industry to make it more sustainable?
\n<\/strong>We\u2019ve seen countless productions use our reusable, recyclable, resealable aluminum bottles rather than single use plastic. \u00a0Aluminum is recycled at a far higher rate than plastic ensuring less waste ends up in landfills. \u00a0Our bottles are also very easy to refill, meaning less waste is created during a production.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

3. <\/strong><\/em>What are the day-to-day operations like within your business? What do you enjoy most out of it?<\/strong><\/span>We\u2019re constantly working to share our story and educate people that a simple purchase like a bottle of water can make a real difference for people. \u00a0Every case sold funds a week of school meals in partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and we\u2019re proud to support their efforts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

4. <\/strong><\/em>What is a recent achievement \/ green win you’ve had? Something you’re most proud of?
\n<\/strong>We recently funded 350,000 school meals for children in The Philippines. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Why should film industry folks consider buying Aluminum Earth Water? Why should people support local Canadian businesses?
\n<\/strong>We can track the amount of purchases a production makes and tell them that by choosing Earth Water, you\u2019ve funded \u2018x\u2019 amount of school meals. \u00a0That\u2019s a powerful message for people to learn and celebrate as a team, knowing that just by working with us they\u2019re helping kids focus on school rather than their stomachs. \u00a0School meals are a powerful way to keep kids in school and brighten their prospects in life.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

6. How do you partner\/work with the Reel Green\u2122 community?
\n<\/strong>We\u2019ve supported various events over the years by providing water, and we\u2019ve been lucky enough to join numerous meetings and presentations to not only share our story, but also learn about all of the wonderful initiatives Reel Green is supporting and shedding light on.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Where can people find more information on your company and products?<\/strong>
