Beeswax Wrap DIY Night - June 20th

-
Tonight Happy Ocean hosted another Beeswax Wrap DIY Night - there was so much demand for last week's session that we hosted this one for those on the waiting list. It was a big success and the participants enjoyed the evening, and some indicated that they plan to pay it forward further and make beeswax wraps for their family and friends. They also planned to take part in the Plastic Challenge and already completed one square by joining tonight "Invest in Beeswax wraps".







Here is a sampling of the participant's creations:


We also had a few participants that were unable to attend, so these beautiful kind souls made their wraps and they will be given to the three that couldn't be there. OMAK their efforts.

We were pleased to hear from this amazing family that they will be bringing what they learned back to Brazil and will be talking to the bee farmers about making these beeswax wraps for their community. The ripple effect is vibrant.

We also have a demo video and step-by-step guide that we will be posting on the blog soon. Stay tuned.

2020 Waste Reduction Week - Plastic Thursday - Partnered with City of Charlottetown

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. In Canada, nearly 90 percent of plastics end up in landfills, incinerators, lakes, parks and oceans. We can do better! We are determined to keep fighting for a cleaner and healthier world, and that’s why we are joining Plastics Thursday of the Waste Reduction Week, and we encourage you to do it with us!
