Celebrated every year on April 22, Earth Day is the largest environmental event in the world. More than 6 million Canadians participate in an Earth Day activity in their communities. Learn more about activities in your community at earthday.ca
- Simple Household Savers – Replace incandescent light bulbs with LEDs. Use aerators on faucets.
- Washing and Drying – Only wash full loads of clothes and use cold water. Hang to air dry.
- Clean Green – Choose natural, non-toxic cleaning products with ingredients such as vinegar or baking soda.
- Food Choices – Choose local organic foods that are in season. What is in season in Ontario in the spring? Look for fresh local apples, cherries, strawberries, asparagus, cabbage, cucumbers, fiddleheads, radishes and spinach.
- Donate and Recycle – Think carefully before throwing items in the trash. Consider donating or recycling. Harmful materials like chemicals, batteries and electronics should be taken to a local hazardous waste depot.
