Environment week

stresses participation

FROM COMMUNITY clean-
ups to Starting a backyard com-
poster, Environment Week has
long stood as a reminder there
are many little things we can do
every day to make a big differ-
ence.

Dedicated to encouraging
Canadians to participate in conserv-
ing and protecting the environment,
Canadian Environment Week activ-
ities run the gainut by groups or
individuals: community‘ clean-ups,
recycling programs, encouraging
less packaging, leaving the car at
home and trying public transit, and
tree-planting...anything that con-
tributes to a cleaner environment.

Canadian Environment Week is

held in early June each year to coin-
cide with World Environment Day,
proclaimed by the United Nations
in 1972 and celebrated on June 5. it
was established through a rare
Private Member's Bilt introduced
by British Columbia MP Tom
Goode and given Royal Assent in
March of 1971.

The name “Canadian
Environment Week” was chosen to
bring attention not only to pollu-
tion, but also to the many facets of
the environment and the benefits of |
environmental protection.

The slogan for this year is “This
Week. Every Week.” Canadian
Environment Week activities can

‘have lasting effects for every week’

of the year, contributing to a better
future for our planet.
