Happy Ocean Beeswax Wrap DIY Night - June 14

-
Last month Happy Ocean held a Beeswax wrap session lead by Daniel Cousins, Sustainability Wizard. He taught us how to make beeswax wraps, to replace single-use plastic wrap (also known as saran wrap). Tonight we paid it forward and held a Happy Ocean DIY Beeswax/Soywax event. We had 24 individuals in attendance and several of the participants have plans to pay it forward even further by offering sessions to their colleagues and some are planning to make more wraps as gifts.








We had some very creative students, here are a few of their finished products:


We had so much demand for this session that we are hosting another session on June 20th, please email happyoceanpei@gmail.com if you are interested in attending. There are only a few spots left.

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!
