Here’s a snapshot of some fantastic Earth Month activities from our Twittersphere:

We learned that bottled water is more expensive than tap and that plastic is terrible for the environment ♻🌏 We are making commercials advertising tap water in Media Lit. We’re brainstorming some ideas before getting started on our roles! @RoselandSchool @ON_EcoSchools pic.twitter.com/X1I9bnJv6Q

Earth Day Highlights
Of course, the grand finale of Earth Month is Earth Day, which takes place annually on April 22! This year, Ontario EcoSchools was pleased to participate in Gen-Earth’s Earth Day Celebration outside Toronto City Hall in Nathan Phillips Square.

From our booth in a small village of pop-up tents, we were thrilled to engage with over 2,000 attendees, including other green organizations, local businesses, and environmental activists. Our Executive Director Lindsay Bunce, CSViamonde teacher Mathieu Morin, and a small group of EcoTeam members shared the main stage to speak about the importance of environmental action, education, and understanding.
