Earth Day Canada

Join us this spring and make change a habit!

For Earth Day® 2012, Earth Day Canada is issuing action-based challenges urging all Canadians (kids, classrooms, groups, businesses, individuals and families) to make positive changes to their daily habits!

For youth, adults and families

Lifestyle choices are typically based on convenience, complacency and habit, but they come with a price. Earth Day Canada’s Take It Up for Earth Day campaign can help you make better decisions about what food and drink you consume and resources you use.Take It Up for Earth Day! Logo

The following four actions will help improve
your health and the health of the environment

  • Get outside and move
  • Drink more tap water
  • Cook and eat more plant-based foods
  • Detox your personal care routine.

 

For kids, classrooms and schools

We haven’t forgotten about the kids! Through the kid-friendly campaign, Act for the Planet, Earth Day Canada’s EcoKids program is offering kids a chance to get involved on their own terms.

Kids will have all month long to do something good for the planet (and remind their parents to do their part too!)
