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:

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!
