Happy Earth Day
everyone!

We hope everyone can find a way to do
something green to celebrate our earth, this April 22nd.

And in case you need some ideas, here are a few
of our favourites:

At
Home:

  1. Choose your clothesline
    over your dryer when possible.
  2. Only put out the blue-box
    when it’s full.
  3. Run your dishwasher and washing
    machine only when full.

Outside
the Home:

  1. “Plogging” –
    picking up litter as you walk or jog.
  2. Don’t idle your
    car – not only is it bad for the environment, but it can ruin your
    exhaust.
  3. Spend time outdoors, enjoying
    nature!

At the
Store:

  1. Shop for products made out
    of or packages in recycled content.
  2. Say no to bottled
    water.
  3. Shop at your local stores and
    businesses.
  4. Bring your own reusable shopping
    bags.

In the
Yard:

  1. Water your tree – either
    by hand or fill up your gator bag.
  2. Mulch your tree –
    and remember, mulch in a donut shape around the tree, not a volcano.
  3. For
    the Fergus/Elora folks: loosen the blue ribbons tied around your tree.
  4. Don’t mow your dandelions, they are food for the
    bees.

We hope you all have a splendid
Earth Day!
