April 22, 2022 is Earth Day
Make everyday Earth day!
Most people already reduce, reuse and recycle, there are many ways we can do our part everyday to help the planet we call home and need to protect.
Repurpose old items into something new instead of buying new. I found recently an old bench made out of rusty rebar on our property and repurposed it into a unique porch bench instead of adding it to landfill or scrap metal and buying something new and plastic.
Build a habitat – building a bug hotel or bat box is a helpful way to house and protect our natural world.
(P.S. Thanks Gerry for building and installing our bat box at the Herb Garden)
Pick up after litterbugs. Littering is not just unsightly, it can cause real harm to the natural world and the critters that live in it. Not to mention the hefty fine that can range from $500 to as much as $50,000 for dumping garbage unlawfully. Each year we execute a ditch cleanup. If you would like to volunteer please send herbs@herbgarden.on.ca an email if you wish to participate in our annual ditch cleanup.
