Canada’s Pollinators
Our Pollinators
Look it’s a bird, it’s a butterfly, it’s a bee; just to name a few as our proud pollinators to help our seasons turn and help us bring food to our tables. Pollinators play a vital part in our every day lives, without their help we would need to look at synthetic means to replicate their work and we would not come close to the benefits that they bring.
How can Canadians help set a better example?
We can learn how to create a little garden anywhere possible, even if your garden is on the 18th floor balcony of an apartment building. All we need is a simple Pollinator Plan Pack for various types of pollinators that can be found at a local florist or by visiting a local botanical garden for better tips; we can enjoy a nice family outing and support our local garden parks at the same time.
National Tree Day – Sign the pledge today!
A tree is a symbol of life; they’re our natural air purifiers, natural food providers, give shelter, medicine and display beautiful natural colors. Trees are known to help heal depression, anxiety, even give knowledge and wisdom if we listen close enough. Certain species can live for millennia, so it’s very important to take care of our natural surroundings, because mother nature takes great care of us.
How can Canadians help set a better example?
Come join as thousands of Canadians across the country that are already making a difference by deciding to make a difference. We can all start by signing up for the pledge to plant a tree on National Tree Day which is on the third Wednesday of September.

Our Wildlife
The more we learn about our natural surroundings, the more we get to understand why it’s important to help protect and encourage the conservation of wildlife. Canada is home to thousands of different species of wildlife and we thank the many organizations that help make Canada a safe place for all.
How can Canadians help set a better example?
We can respect nature by admiring it from afar. The beauty of nature is that it’s free, not consumed by our materials and serve a proper purpose in life. We, as humans, may sometimes forget that nature is wild and their curiosity may endanger our lives and the lives of others around us.
Green Communities & Organic Living Across Canada
In today’s world we need to look at Green Energy & Organic Living, not only are we looking at wasting less energy, but wasting less food and less money in the long run. The benefits of Green Living & Eating Organic will save Canadians hundreds of thousands of dollars only if we are willing to spend 25% to 50% more on groceries now than spending it on pharmaceutical drugs later.
How can Canadians help set a better example?
Canadians can improve their health just by switching over to Organic & Supporting Our Local Farmer’s Market. With health risks on the rise, it’s the smarter choice to make.

Canada’s Footprint
Our Footprint
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Services and Procurement/Steven MacKinnon – “This project embodies our commitment to improving how we manage energy performance of federal buildings. Through this and other initiatives across government, we are taking steps to reduce our footprint and green our buildings.”
How can Canadians help set a better example?
We can all help by conserving energy with the help of energy efficient appliances and windows, installing programmable thermostats to control settings, switching to low energy light bulbs and always prepare before winter by weatherizing your homes to keep the cold out and the heat in.
World Oceans Day
1992 Earth Summit/Rio de Janeiro – The Government of Canada proposed the concept of World Oceans Day and as of 2009, the United Nations has officially declared June 8 as “World Oceans Day”. We all have the responsibility to keep our waters clean only because we all frequently use it on a daily basis; the negative impact of pollution in our waters is life threating.
How can Canadians help set a better example?
We can all start by avoiding plastic bags, taking the time to separate trash from recycling, consume less water, avoid harsh chemicals that can harm and pollute our waters and to take the habit of just picking up after ourselves instead of ending up with a problem that requires immediate attention.
