February 2022: Make 2022 a Greener year!
DID YOU KNOW - London Environmental Network (founded in 2015) helps protect our environment and build a more sustainable community supporting local environmental organizations.
A few reminders from them to make 2022 a Greener Year:
* Shop from vendors at your local farmer's market (when in season).
* Plan your vegetable garden for next season.
* Rethink, reduce, reuse and recycle your products.
* Reduce food wastes by meal prepping, freezing or using up leftovers.
* Join your local neighbourhood "Buy Nothing Group".
* Fixing items or buying refurbished products instead of new ones.
* Participate in a river cleanup.
* Monitor and reduce water usage at home.
* Upgrading your light systems to LED light bulbs.
* Switch to renewable or more energy efficient appliances.
* Attend a Green in the City event for more ideas.
REMEMBER - Save used batteries. Save plastic bags or take to Metro.
REMEMBER - Support the UCW (recycling used clothing and material to make sleeping bags for the homeless).
The key to Greener Planet is in our hands.
