The environment and your block

This month we teamed up with Caitlin in the Environment Department!

There are lots of things you can do on your block to help the environment. For example, you could leave your lawn clippings on your lawn, or only water your gardens in the morning or evening. Another idea that has been used in many communities is sharing tools or lawn mowers. There are even Tool Libraries popping up in communities. Maybe you only use compostable materials when you have your block party or pick up litter when you are out for a walk. All of these things contribute to a healthier environment that is better for our entire community.

I am curious if you have talked to your neighbours about the environment or some of the ideas mentioned above?

What do you do to help make a healthier environment for your community?

Do you have any questions about environmental practices on your block that Caitlin from the Environment Department could help answer?
