The Random Acts of Green® Cross-Country Canadian Tour

-
This past September, Random Acts of Green embarked on a Canadian Cross-Country tour to deliver the message to Canadians from coast-to-coast that climate action is important – and there are a lot of things we can all do. The primary objective of the tour was to spread the message of urgency -and to change the conversation from doom and gloom into hope and action.

 No Green Act is too small, no person is too young or too old, and no effort should ever go unnoticed. We’re here to INSPIRE YOU – not to judge you for things out of your control, actions that aren’t possible for you to take, or for your starting point on your green journey.

 Check out the Charlottetown PEI leg of tour:

 To kick off the tour, Efficiency PEI hosted RAOG Team for a Lunch and Learn Session. They are a group of dedicated energy stars working toward renewable power and highlighting the importance of electric vehicles.
  • Electric Vehicle “Only” Parking Spaces
  • A fully electric vehicle that helps the staff at Efficiency PEI move around
They also spotted a large amount of Green Acts while in Charlottetown! RAOG team met with a group helping to reduce food waste at the largest urban farm in Canada; a Pedestrian Only street; a large beehive; the Plastic-Bag Ban out in PEI; a Tool Library, and another group Happy Ocean PEI who was happy to even provide gifts and positive energy at our events.
“Thank you for creating the tool for individuals to be more mindful of the daily behaviour and its impact on the planet and beings. Thank you for touring Canada to bring awareness in climate change. Keep up the good work. Happy Ocean has learned a lot from your group.” – Happy Ocean, PEI

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!
