SUMMARY:Circular Economy Month (Canada)
DESCRIPTION:Canada’s First Circular Economy Public Awareness Campaign\nOn October 1st\, 2022\, Circular Innovation Council kicked-off Circular Economy Month\, Canada’s first-ever public awareness month dedicated to educating and engaging Canadians on building a circular economy. \nExtending Waste Reduction Week in Canada — the country’s most successful waste reduction public awareness campaign engaging Canadians each year since 2001 — beyond the third week of October\, Circular Economy Month raises awareness about the benefits of circular economy and celebrates circular innovations. During October we invited Canadians to learn about the circular economy\, celebrate our individual and collective efforts\, embrace circular solutions\, and encourage others to take action. \n  \n\nLink to video in French \nCanada Minister of Environment and Climate Change\, Steven Guilbeault\, supports and declares the month of October as Circular Economy Month in Canada:\n \n \n  \nProgram Themes\nThe third week of October continues as Waste Reduction Week in Canada\, upholding tradition of focusing on our daily themes related to specific waste streams and the waste reduction component of a circular economy. The remainder of the month will focus on introducing the concept of circular economy and amplifying its broader social\, environmental\, and economic benefits\, communicating a different theme each week. \n \n  \nJoin the Conversation on Social Media\nSupport Circular Economy Month & Waste Reduction Week in Canada through social media year round using the official program hashtags #CircularEconomyMonth & #WasteReductionWeek. Follow us! \n

SUMMARY:World Environmental Health Day
DESCRIPTION:World Environmental Health Day:\n\nStrengthening Environmental Health Systems\nfor the implementation of the\nSustainable Development Goals \n \nThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, also known as the Global Goals\, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty\, protect the planet\, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity now and in the future. \nThe 17 SDGs are integrated – they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others\, and that development must balance social\, economic\, and environmental sustainability\, all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. \nThe mission statement of the United Nations on SDGs is as follows:\n“A blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all people and the world by 2030.” \nEnvironmental Health plays a pivotal role in the implementation of these SDGs. It is interesting to note that Environmental Health fits into 7 SDGs\, 19 targets and 30 indicators of the SDGs. \nFurther information about the theme of 2022 \nLook up the WEHD 2022 message from the President of the IFEH\,\nDr. Henroy Scarlett \n IFEH Presidential WEHD Message \n  \nHow to get involved \nMany activities are taking place around the Globe in connection to this big event.

SUMMARY:Secondhand September Challenge Month
DESCRIPTION:Have you heard about the ‘Secondhand September’ movement?\n\n\n\n\nThe ‘Secondhand September‘ challenge encourages you to rethink buying new and try to find what you need pre-loved when possible. This resource you need may already exist and is awaiting someone like you to help keep it in use. \nParticipate in the circular economy and do your part to help transform waste into a resource! \nMake the pledge to be a secondhand seeker this month and join the Secondhand September 2022 movement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare Your Favourite Thrifted Find!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStarted by Oxfam in the UK\, Second Hand September is a 30-day campaign to halt fast fashion\, stop buying new clothes and pass along donations of unwanted items. \nAn article in the New York Times defined fast fashion as “inexpensive\, cheaply made clothing rapidly produced by mass-market retailers in response to the latest and most popular trends. Fast fashion is literally designed to fall apart and is a large contributor to throwaway culture and overconsumption.” \n  \n\n\n\n\nPledge To Participate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe apparel industry’s global emissions output is predicted to increase by 49% by 2030 if nothing changes. \nWhy is this scary? \nThis fashion industry is the second highest user of water worldwide\, producing 20% of total global water waste. \nThe fashion and apparel industry is responsible for approximately one third of all microplastics found in the ocean. \nClothing production produces more emissions than international plane travel and shipping combined. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin The Movement!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChoosing Secondhand First\n\n\n\n\nIntersectional Note: It is important to consider some of the limitations of relying only on visiting a secondhand store. Visiting a thrift store requires time\, does not ensure item availability or sizing for all\, and there may be physical barriers to thrift shopping in person. \nWe MUST take a stand against senseless waste and we encourage you to take it even further with the suggestions below! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to take the Secondhand September challenge even further\n\n\n\n\nRandom Acts of Green challenges you to widen the scope. \nTake the Secondhand September challenge even further and look for other ways you can make the most out of materials that already exist. \nHere are some examples: \n\nRenting – borrow the items you need from a library\, service or peer-to-peer network.\nUpcycle – transform a material you already have into the item you are looking for.\nSwap – host or attend a clothing swap to help redistribute items locally.\nRecycled Materials –  take a closer look at the materials used in manufacture of items you need and support makers that create using second hand materials. Not all items themselves can be bought second hand but perhaps those products can be consciously created using repurposed materials.\nBorrow – for items that you need for a limited time\, ask people in your networks if they can lend you what you need.\nRepair – try to mend what you have or have it altered or fixed by someone who can.\nConsume less – simply buy only what you need and nothing more.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin The Movement!

SUMMARY:NACTR Webinar - Maximizing Apparel Diversion in Canada
DESCRIPTION:NACTR Webinar: Maximizing Apparel Diversion in Canada. Discussing the recent report; Reduce\, Reuse\, Rewear – Recommendations to Increase Textile Diversion with $7 Billion industry potential in Canada supporting communities\, environment and the economy. \nDiscover the untapped potential within Canada’s discarded apparel landscape during this insightful webinar. Join us as we delve into the statistics that reveal only 24% of the estimated 1.3 million tonnes of discarded apparel generated annually in Canada find their way to reuse and recycling channels. The question arises: how can we effectively increase the diversion of the remaining 76%? \nStudies have demonstrated that a staggering 95% of this discarded apparel holds significant value\, presenting an opportunity for life extension through thrift and secondary markets. Our webinar will shed light on the strategies needed to capture and leverage this value. \nBe part of the conversation as we examine the recent recommendations and actions put forth by the National Association for Charitable Textile Recycling (NACTR) and other key industry players. Together\, we’ll explore innovative approaches and best practices to drive apparel diversion and create a sustainable future. \nRegister for the webinar here

SUMMARY:World Environment Day
DESCRIPTION:World Environment Day on 5 June is the biggest international day for the environment. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and held annually since 1973\, the event has grown to be the largest global platform for environmental outreach\, with millions of people from across the world engaging to protect the planet.\n  \nTHE COMMUNITY\nWorld Environment Day is a global platform for inspiring positive change. With over 150 countries participating\, this UN international day engages governments\, businesses\, civil society\, schools\, celebrities\, cities and communities\, raising awareness and celebrating environmental action. \nIndividuals can be drivers of change through their support for businesses and governments. The actions of these larger entities can have a transformational impact\, potentially locking in sustainable consumption and production behaviours for the decades to come. \nTHE HOST\nEach year\, World Environment Day is hosted by a different country where the official celebrations take place. The host country for 2022 is Sweden. \nWorld Environment Day 2022 will be an opportunity to showcase some of Sweden’s pioneering work on the environment over the past 50 years. UNEP will work with Sweden to showcase these innovations through a series of written stories and short videos that will be shared online. \n2022 A HISTORIC MILESTONE\n2022 is a historic milestone for the global environmental community. It marks 50 years since the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment\, widely seen as the first international meeting on the environment. The 1972 Stockholm Conference spurred the formation of environment ministries and agencies around the world and kickstarted a host of new global agreements to collectively protect the environment. It was also where the goals of poverty alleviation and environmental protection became linked\, paving the way for the Sustainable Development Goals. At the Stockholm Conference\, the idea of World Environment Day was formalized\, with the first one being celebrated in 1973. \nIn early June 2022\, the high-level Stockholm+50 international meeting will be held in Sweden\, a few days before World Environment Day. The communications around these events are connected and will be mutually reinforcing. \nSTAY CONNECTED\nWorld Environment Day 2022\, like previous years\, will be celebrated by millions of people across the world\, both online and through in-person events. Sign up here to stay informed and be part of the Only One Earth campaign. \n  \nShare your events and actions by taking part in the Earth Action Numbers\, and using #OnlyOneEarth and #WorldEnvironmentDay on social media.

SUMMARY:Global Recycling Day
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the Earth yields billions of tons of natural resources and at some point\, in the not too distant future\, it will run out. \nThat’s why we must think again about what we throw away – seeing not waste\, but opportunity. \nThe last decade has been the hottest on record\, and we are now facing a climate emergency of unparalleled proportions. If we don’t make significant and rapid changes\, we will see continued rising global temperatures\, the melting of icecaps\, continents on fire and rapid deforestation. \nThis directly affects humanity with increased poverty\, immigration from displaced communities\, job losses\, waste mountains and natural habitats disappearing. We have the power to make lasting changes to combat this\, and with recycling being recognized in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals 2030\, we are already seeing many individuals\, governments and organisations taking direct action to support the global green agenda. \nRecycling is a key part of the circular economy\, helping to protect our natural resources. Each year the ‘Seventh Resource’ (recyclables) saves over 700 million tonnes in CO2 emissions and this is projected to increase to 1 billion tons by 2030. There is no doubt recycling is on the front line in the war to save the future of our planet and humanity. \nThe Global Recycling Foundation is pleased to announce the theme of Global Recycling Day 2021 as #RecyclingHeroes. This will recognise the people\, places and activities that showcase what an important role recycling plays in contributing to an environmentally stable planet and a greener future which will benefit all. \nGlobal Recycling Day was created in 2018 to help recognise\, and celebrate\, the importance recycling plays in preserving our precious primary resources and securing the future of our planet. It is a day for the world to come together and put the planet first. \nThe mission of Global Recycling Day\, as set out by the Global Recycling Foundation\, is twofold: \n1. To tell world leaders that recycling is simply too important not to be a global issue\, and that a common\, joined up approach to recycling is urgently needed. \n2. To ask people across the planet to think resource\, not waste\, when it comes to the goods around us – until this happens\, we simply won’t award recycled goods the true value and repurpose they deserve.

SUMMARY:Earth Hour
DESCRIPTION:Let’s keep the momentum going ’til Earth Hour 2023 next year – 25 March\, 8:30 pm local time! After all\, Earth Hour isn’t only about committing for one hour on one day – it’s about committing every day to take care of our planet and each other: \n \n \nStarted in 2007 by WWF and partners as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney to raise awareness of climate change\, Earth Hour is now one of the world’s largest grassroots movements for the environment. Held every year on the last Saturday of March\, Earth Hour engages supporters in more than 190 countries and territories\, all taking action to ensure a brighter future for people and the planet. \nEarth Hour has also gone far beyond the symbolic action of switching off – it has become a catalyst for positive environmental impact\, driving major legislative changes by harnessing the power of the people and collective action. \nEarth Hour is open-source and we welcome everyone\, anyone\, to take part and help amplify our mission and impact.
