Just because Earth Day has passed, doesn’t mean that we should stop thinking about ways we can incorporate sustainable actions into our lives. Often times, mamas find it challenging to make the right choices for a variety of reasons, so here are 5 Earth Day Canada Approved Tips, that are really easy to do and don’t require any sacrifices!
1. The Daily Commute Alternative – Reduce the use of your car—take public transit, walk, bike or carpool. For the young ones, start a “walking school bus” with other kids in your area for getting to and from school.
2. Friendly Fridge – Make your fridge more efficient by filling empty space with reusable water bottles. You can even use personalized water bottles to make it more fun for the kids to help you fill them at the end of each day and stock the fridge.
3. Local, Local, Local – Support your local farmers’ market or plant your own garden. Kids LOVE gardening and eating the fruits (or vegetables) of their labour.
4. Kinder Paper Products – Use paper and tissue products that are 100% recycled. Save the rolls to use for a family art project. Rolls make fabulous shakers and musical instruments and you can even turn them into little creatures like caterpillars! Visit EnviroCare for details on 100% recycled tissue products that are just as soft and don’t cost any more!
5. Cleaning Alternatives – Choose natural, non-toxic cleaning products like vinegar, baking soda and water. Use baking soda to clean the kids’ toys. For little ones, you’ll feel comfortable knowing there is nothing toxic on their hands when their fingers go right back in their mouths after they help clean the toys.
When it comes to the environment, it’s so important to raise awareness about all the small changes everyone can make within their households, without making huge sacrifices in their lives. We all know that it starts with a little education, so the EnviroCare Facebook page has taken the time to put together a game called EnviroWheel, that is not only fun, but actually teaches people about sustainability!
The EnviroWheel game is a Wheel-of-Fortune inspired game that gives players clues to solve a frenzy of puzzles, all while learning how they can make a change at home and in their community, by learning how recycled household paper products can positively impact the environment. Players are also able to accumulate points and compete for the top spots on the EnviroWheel leadership board, collect coupons, and even have a chance to win $5,000 to donate towards an environmental charity of their choice! To learn more about sustainability, play the EnviroWheel game on Facebook for a chance to win coupons. The EnviroWheel closes July 18th!
1 pack of Purex bathroom tissue (12 rolls), 1 pack of SpongeTowels (6 rolls), and a 6 pack of Scotties Facial Tissue and 3 coupons for additional free products!
