Earth Day Events

Every Day is Earth Day

Earthday in the Square Saturday April 25, 2009 was a rousing success. Beginning at 10am and continuing until 10pm we  entertained, educated, and participated in all kinds of Earthday Events. Spirit Drummers played, Grandfather Heron made an appearance, kids painted the Eathday banner, coloured posters, participants received veggie starts and Judy Stafford of Cowichan Green Community posed on the Mercedes donated for the Car Share Co-op.

May Recycling Tips

Did You Know?

  • Bings Creek Waste Management facillity in Duncan accepts yard waste at no charge, making it unnecessary to have backyard fires that bother the neighbours and foul our beautiful spring air. Check if your local facility provides the same service.
  • Almond Breeze non dairy beverage tetrapaks are now part of the deposit system and can be returned for a 5 cent refund.
  • Fluorescent Bulbs are recycled at Bings Creek Waste Management Facility in Duncan. Check if your local waste management facility recycles them as well.
  • You can get free paint at the Duncan, Sidney and Campbell River locations of the Cowichan Valley Bottle Depot as part of Product Care's Paint Exchange Program
  • Canadians use more than 6,000,000,000 plastic grocery bags every year, reduce your use by using reuseable cloth bags. All of our locations can provide you with reusable grocery bags.
  • Write you local MLA and the Environment Minister if you want soup tetra paks to be recycled.
