| An Overview of RCM RCM is a non-profit, non-governmental organization, registered as a charity since 1989. Programs focus on sustainable transportation, waste reduction, climate change, and sustainable living. In addition, RCM's elected community Board makes formal representations from time to time on issues such as utility rates, Extended Producer Responsibility, ecological fiscal reform, and urban planning. We acknowledge with appreciation the support of individual donors, The Winnipeg Foundation, the WRAPP Fund of Manitoba Conservation, the Climate and Green Initiatives Branch of Manitoba Science, Technology, Energy and Mines, the City of Winnipeg, and Environment Canada. Event sponsors include Manitoba Hydro, Great-West Life, Investors Group, and the Manitoba Product Stewardship Corporation. RCM's Mission and Principles RCM promotes applied, ecological sustainability through environmental education and the development of alternatives to currently unsustainable practices. Formerly the Recycling Council of Manitoba, the relatively widespread introduction of recycling initiatives in Manitoba (during the 1990s) allowed us to focus more of our efforts on other waste reduction issues. We renewed our mandate, redirected our activities and changed our name to reflect these broader priorities. Contact RCM
