INTERNATIONAL PLANT APPRECIATION DAY
April 13, 2020
Today’s little project involves some writing.
You can write letters or emails.
Jot a note off to companies ask them to create products which are greener.
If it can’t be reduced, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled or composted, then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production. – Peter Seeger
Send a letter to you member of the legislative assembly asking that the upcoming amendments to the wildlife act include provisions for protecting plant life.
Check with your member of the legislative assembly for the action plan to protect the Saskatchewan provincial endangered small yellow lady’s slipper found in the afforestation area.
Write a letter to your local green environmental group asking for suggestions on how to take action on climate change.
For your second activity today, how many words, or anagrams can you make from “appreciation?”
“It’s coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It’s not just climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now.” ~David Attenborough
Monday April 13, and the second monday of Earth Month. This year’s Earth Day 2020 theme is Climate Action.

“Each year sees the disappearance of thousands of plant and animal species that we will never know — that our children will never see because they have been lost forever. The great majority become extinct for reasons related to human activity. Because of us, thousands of species will no longer give glory to God by their very existence nor convey their message to us. We have no such right.”
– Pope Francis
“He that plants a tree, loves others besides himself.” ~Thomas Fuller
