Festive Plastic-Free Challenge - December 2019

-
For the month of December, we are launching a Festive Plastic-Free Challenge.  Each day has a green action you can make towards a zero-waste lifestyle. Our Social Media Team will be posting each day in December - sharing information and inspiration on ways you can complete the daily challenge.

Happy Ocean aimed to keep the calendar neutral however you will see on Day 6 the mention of a Christmas Tree. If you don't celebrate Christmas or another holiday in December, you can substitute this day for another green action. We had a Challenge back in June and some individuals used the calendar like a Bingo card, where they crossed off actions each day in no particular order. There are no rules, every action makes a difference.


Here is a link to the Festive Calendar on Google Docs. Please share with your colleagues, friends and family. We would love to hear from you on whether you plan to participate and what region you are from.

"Random Acts of Green" is also doing a Jolly Green Holiday Challenge for the month of December. 'Tis the season to be Jolly (and Green). Many of the Jolly Green Holiday Challenge ideas have direct or related actions that you can log on their App. You can earn Green Points for each activity and redeem them for green products, services and experiences. You can also gift these points to another if you want to Green it Forward. ;)




Here is how you can participate in the Random Acts of Green Jolly Green Holiday™ Challenge:
-Log, track and record your “Green Acts” on the app!
-Send a photo/video of yourself doing one of the challenges via email
-Use the hashtag #RandomActsofGreen and #jollygreenholiday to help RAOG keep track
-The more “Acts of Green” you complete, the more Green Points you earn!
-Redeem your “Green Points” for products, services and experiences or 'Gift' them for someone else to enjoy. Check out our App Store to see what goodies are there!

Wishing you a fabulous Festive Month of December!

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!

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
