    Blue Box

    The blue box is a plastic bin used in curbside recycling programs. The bins are filled with materials — including paper, glass, cans and select plastics — which are then collected by waste management professionals. Resource Integration Systems, the sister organization of a countercultural non-profit, and Superior Sanitation pioneered the blue box system in Kitchener, Ontario, in 1981. By 1986, the program began to operate province-wide. Today, blue boxes continue to be used in Ontario, home to one of the world’s most comprehensive recycling programs. Blue boxes are also used in municipal recycling programs in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec.

    Blue Rodeo (Profile)

    Jim Cuddy hears the music. I see the grotty stairwell. Standing in the open doorway amid the stacks of cardboard boxes and equipment cases, he slaps his palms together and cocks his head for the echo that stretches thin above us.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on July 15, 2002

    Blue-spotted Salamander

    The blue-spotted salamander (Ambystoma laterale) is a forest-dwelling salamander native to northeastern North America. It has a large distribution in eastern Canada that extends from Manitoba to Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Labrador. These salamanders belong to the Ambystomatidae family, also known as “mole salamanders” because they spend much of their lives underground.

    Blue Whale

    The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is the largest animal known to have ever lived on Earth. It is a difficult whale to study because of its low numbers and its preference for deep, offshore waters. Within Balaenoptera musculus, authorities recognize between three and five subspecies. Blue whales live in oceans throughout the world, including off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada. Although blue whale sightings are rare, experts believe that about 250 mature individuals live off each coast.
