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:REmarket at St.Lawrence Market
DESCRIPTION:What is REmarket?\nWe “REmarket” usable post-consumer goods that can be REused\, REpaired\, and REcycled to REthink our purchasing decisions by taking REsponsible actions in our consumption of material goods. \nWhere is it?  \nWhile it is currently located in the temporary St. Lawrence Market North structure (the tented market at 125 The Esplanade\, just south of Front Street)\, REmarket will be moving to the new St. Lawrence Market North building upon completion of its construction (currently scheduled for spring 2023). \nWhen is it?\nThe REmarket is hosted every few months. The next one is January 25 & 26\, 2023. Check out our events page for more details. \nWhat do we collect?\nCheck out our list of items and guidelines for the REmarket and FreeMarket co-event. \nLearn more about the event here: SLNA

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.
