Share the LOVE today and do some thing for the environment!

Buy less Commit to bringing less into your home:
- Be a savvy shopper. Retailers want you to spend money in their stores. Malls and big box stores with large parking lots want you to carry home more stuff in your vehicle.
- If you must buy something, ask yourself: Do I really need this? Where does it come from? Where does it go when I’m done with it?
- Support the circular economy — manufacturers who take full responsibility for the life cycle of their products.
Declutter Get what you no longer want or need into the hands of someone who does:
- Donate decent-quality items to local second-hand stores, charity thrift shops and organizations that support those in need.
- See if your neighbours want your unused things.
- Offer your stuff for free online or sell it through second-hand marketplaces.
Break up with plastic Canada intends to ban single-use plastic by 2021. Until then:
- Refuse single-use plastic items. Ask for reusable cutlery and pass on plastic straws in restaurants.
- Only have things that can be reused, recycled or composted.
- Recycle all plastic waste.
