Great article from Vivian Song of Sun Media on the ABCs of going back to school in a green way. A new school year means a fresh new start that can include greening your kids' daily curriculum. Here are the ABCs for parents, students and teachers on how to become eco-friendly.
A is for apple.
Canada exports approximately 50,000 tonnes of fresh apples annually, mostly to the U.S. About 62 per cent of Canadian exports are from BC, while 26 per cent originate from Ontario. Meanwhile, Canada imports apples year-round from the U.S. Chile, South Africa, New Zealand and Argentina.
Folly? Yes. So send a message to apple farmers, and shine a locally-grown apple for your favourite teacher.
V is for Vintage and Q is for questioning claims that could be greenwashing - we love it. Full article here
