Earth Day 2021
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:
- Choose your clothesline
over your dryer when possible. - Only put out the blue-box
when it’s full. - Run your dishwasher and washing
machine only when full.
Outside
the Home:
- “Plogging†–
picking up litter as you walk or jog. - Don’t idle your
car – not only is it bad for the environment, but it can ruin your
exhaust. - Spend time outdoors, enjoying
nature!
At the
Store:
- Shop for products made out
of or packages in recycled content. - Say no to bottled
water. - Shop at your local stores and
businesses. - Bring your own reusable shopping
bags.
In the
Yard:
- Water your tree – either
by hand or fill up your gator bag. - Mulch your tree –
and remember, mulch in a donut shape around the tree, not a volcano. - For
the Fergus/Elora folks: loosen the blue ribbons tied around your tree. - Don’t mow your dandelions, they are food for the
bees.
We hope you all have a splendid
Earth Day!
