Celebrate Earth Day!

It’s Earth Day!  Did you celebrate today?  Did you mark the occasion? As I washed out my reusable coffee cup at work, it occurred to me that there is more that I could be doing – that we all could be doing – to be kind to the earth. In keeping with DECA’s general mantra to start locally, how about a community clean-up?

An Earth Day Request from DECA

This weekend on Saturday April 26 & Sunday April 27, we are asking you to adopt your block, or street, or more! You pick the time to pick up the litter, and if you could a couple more things:
1) Tell your neighbours;
2) Separate the garbage from the recycling;
3) Send decacleanup@gmail.com a note telling us where you plan to clean up pick up (or where you did pick up). Send us a photo! Or let us know on Twitter using our #DanforthEast hashtag or by including our handle (@DECADiaries) in your tweet. Post it to our Facebook Page so that we can help you spread the word!
Let’s have the most litter-free neighbourhood in the city!
