Ecotone Renewables’ Post

Sacrificing 3 billion trees annually - Is that our answer to a latte on-the-go? ☕️ Between 2012 and 2020, every person in the EU contributed an astronomical 73kg to paper packaging waste each year. That's an alarming 10kg increase per person from just 8 years ago. ⏱️ Imagine this - every takeout meal, every on-the-move coffee session, is costing us a piece of our forests. Innocently labelled 'eco-friendly', these paper cups carry an untold saga of environmental damage. Before your next takeaway, think twice. 🤔 Will you contribute to the 3 billion or make a difference? The power is in your hands.

Today is Earth Day, April 22, 2024!! Earth Day was first organized on April 22, 1970, by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson and graduate student Denis Hayes. In 1990, a global Earth Day was organized in more than 140 countries. There are many simple things you can do to support Earth Day, today and everyday!  RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE. Reduce your waste by recycling. Conserve our resources. Turn off lights when you leave a room, take a shorter shower, or set up a rain barrel to collect rainwater for yard use. Plant a tree or native plant to provide cover and food sources to birds and bees. Bees play a crucial role in pollination but pesticides reduce the population of bees.   The DEA's National Prescription Drug Take Back day is the last Saturday of April. By dropping off your unused medications, you are keeping them out of our groundwater system. Local law enforcement agencies will "Take Back" your prescription drugs in a safe manner. Check your local area to find other locations.

FIRST CALIFORNIA, THEN ALL THE REST! Say what you want about California, but they are one of the States paving the way for sustainability in the US. These Worm Buckets (3 times as many pictured) are headed to every preschool in Santa Barbara. They are launching a hands-on environmental program focused on teaching kids about worms, food waste and composting! Remebering back to our launch in June 2022, most people we talked to had never even heard of vermicomposting. Since then, we’ve done the heavy lifting of educating, educating, and more educating. Dare I say, this program is a sign that we’re moving out of the education phase and heading full force into implementation? IS COMPOSTING GOING MAINSTREAM?! #composting #reducewaste #sustainability #chaseyourdreams
