Electronic products collected through the Phone Case Recovery Program are sent to the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) in Canada. Today is World Ocean Day. REIMAGINE. RECREATE. RESTORE. In order to be able to feed the world’s growing population, we need ever more food, which must be diverse, balanced and of good quality to ensure the progress and well-being of humankind. Thank-you @Vancity for supporting the Phone Case Recovery with a grant! National Arbor Day is April 29, 2022. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the tree planter’s holiday, and we’re excited to celebrate with you! In celebration of Earth Day, Eco-Train would like to recognize the tremendous leadership of Loblaw Companies Limited for their commitment to reduce or eliminate their use of plastic wherever they can in their business. Eco-Train is committed to advancing the circular economy through a model of shared producer responsibility to eliminate waste from the wireless industry. Earth Day was first celebrated on 22 April 1970, often considered as the birth of the environmental movement. Over the years, Earth Day has become the largest participatory environmental movement on the planet. The new boxes have arrived! Canadian retailers will begin seeing them with next orders from Hitfar, Cesium and Axessorize very soon! Fifty-two years ago, an estimated 20 million people came together to celebrate the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. Half a century later we are faced with serious environmental and health challenges, from an accelerating Climate Crisis to a global plastic pollution crisis. Today is World Water Day.
