A while back, we attended the Love Vancouver Festival. It was great! We met lots of inspirational activists who taught us a lot about sustainability. It was powerful to see how many individuals around Vancouver are altering their lifestyles to be more environmentally friendly.

Paper Challenge!
Wait!!!
Avoid absentmindedly throwing away your school notes! Before you toss your math excercises in the trash (gasp) or even the recycling bin, consider the following: Save each piece of paper that is blank on one side. Make a stack of reusable paper on your desk or in your drawer that can be used for future note taking, projects and even homework. 50% less paper means 50% less trees being cut down. Trees serve many purposes including:
- Reducing erosion of our precious soil ressource
- Allowing streams to twist and turn, creating calm sanctuaries where fish can spawn
- Supplying us with oxygen
- Absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
WE CHALLENGE YOU!
Until next time,
Under A Tree
aka Hannah and Marie-Claire
