Plastic Free Challenge - Day 25

-
Today's challenge is to attend the "Tool Tune Up" at the Charlottetown Farm Centre. Bring your rusty or dull garden tools for a “tune up” by the folks from the Tool Library. On-going workshops are held from 10 am–2 pm.


While you are there getting your tools sharpened, you can participate in workshops, a seed swap, garden tour and a plant sale.


Herb Day at the Farm Centre 
The 6th annual Herb Day takes place May 25 from 10 am–2 pm at the Farm Centre, 420 University Ave, Charlottetown. Keen gardeners know Herb Day is the place to get healthy starter plants from local and organic farmers. Bring your garden tools for a "tune up" - Daniel from the Charlottetown Tool Library will be on site to oil and sharpen tools.


The Charlottetown Tool Library exists to promote social, environmental and economic sustainability through the sharing of tools and equipment, material resources, time, skills and knowledge. For $50 a year you can get a membership to borrow any of the tools, here is the inventory Charlottetown Tool Library . You can also donate tools to the Tool Library, check out their Facebook page for more details.

Do you ever notice the pile of trash that is left over when you're done with your take-out meal? Our "throw-away" lifestyle has created tons of waste from single-use products that we use for just a few minutes. The environmental impacts on the planet from all the single-use items are enormous. For example: the average useful life of a "to-go" paper coffee cup, with the lid, the sleeve, the stir stick, and even the tray to hold it is 12 minutes! American consumers use 130 billion paper cups each year for coffee. That disposable coffee-cup habit uses 27 billion gallons of water, consumes 25 million trees, and generates 31 billion pounds of CO2.

Many of our Happy Ocean community group members have been participating in an informal plastic free challenge for the month of April. It was so insightful and life-changing for many that we decided to create a challenge for others to join us for the month of May. With our group's collective efforts and ideas we present to you the “31-Day Plastic Free Challenge" - May 2019 edition. This is meant to be a fun way to learn, engage in plastic-free actions, and make conscious choices each day that help protect our beautiful oceans (and planet). Please spread the word and challenge your friends, family, classmates and/or colleagues to join us. Thanks in advance for your efforts - together we can make a difference. Here is a link to the poster that you can refer to each day of the challenge:   http://bit.ly/31daysMay
