😮 Look what we found on the side of the road - this old surfboard! We rescued it immediately and have already asked our artist friend Karen to help us turn it into something beautiful. What have you rescued from the landfill lately? Have you turned trash into art? We want to see it! #trashart #RandomActsofGreen #green #environment #greenspotted #ecofriendly #gogogreen #waste #repurpose #upcycle #eco #recycle #reuse #reduce

Why brake for turtles you ask?!🐢🐢 -Threats to turtles in urban environments are steep - issues like habitat loss , water contamination and road mortality are big! -Most turtles hit on the road are females preparing to lay eggs and less than 1% of turtle eggs will make it to adulthood. -Turtles take a while to mature! 8-25 years for a turtle to start producing eggs. -Turtles play a significant ecological role in our environment! #BrakeforTurtles as your #RandomActofGreen! Thank you Peterborough Mitsubishi for sponsoring this post and to the @ontarioturtlecc for hosting us today! #turtle #environment @ptbo_mitsubishi

😮 Our incredible Volunteer Terra Pombert from Beaumont shared with us how she saves the earth AND money by REPAIRING what she already has! 👇🏼👇🏼 "For me the key to a sustainable life is using what you have and choosing to be happy with it. 🚙 My car is a 2005 Ford Focus it is the only car I will own until I cannot fix it anymore. It's may not be the prettiest car around, but it has the potential to get me where I need to go for 5 to 10 more years with proper maintenance and care. I just replaced my front bumper ($45), antenna ($1), and fender liner ($14), ALL taken from another car at the junk yard. Talk about crazy savings! Purchasing these things new would have cost me $535. I either hire an experienced mechanic to do the work, but most repairs just require basic tools and YouTube! This job took me 4 hours to complete plus 1 hour of driving to get the parts. I consider sustainability another source of income because of the money I save. Sustainability has never felt so good. 💰💰💰 How much money a year do you save fixing things you already have? How does it feel when you have made something last longer?" --- Way to go Terra! We truly admire your #green, #moneysaving AND #carrepairing skills! 🌎 Do YOU want to join our #GreenSpotted Volunteer Program and share awesome Random Acts of Green with us?

😮 Tires are rolling their way into landfills due to the limited options available after being worn down - equating to about 450 million scrap tires per year in the US alone! They introduce negative health and environmental effects because of the toxic compounds contained within them. However, there's been a growing trend of finding creative ways to utilize tires post-life; and kudos to @ForsytheFarms (located in Uxbridge, Ontario) for adding these "retired" playground fixtures in their play area. My kids got a kick out of riding them and I appreciate the fact that there's "one less tire" in the landfill. -- 😁 Thanks to our volunteer Pete Ducusin from Oshawa for this great #RAOG! 🌎 Do you want to join our #GreenSpotted Volunteer Program?Click the blue "Sign Up" button on our page to learn more!

Any balloon that is released, intentionally or otherwise, returns to the Earth as litter. And sometimes animals eat them, mistaking them for food! Our volunteer Breanne Chrobak encountered a balloon entangled in some sticks while walking on the beach. Next time you are celebrating, why not celebrate with bubbles, flowers, or by planting a tree! What alternatives do you use for balloons? Thanks so much Breanne (IG: @eco.breanne) for this important #RAOG! #randomactsofgreen #makelitterpickingcool #beachcleanup ==> For more information about our Volunteer Program click the blue "Sign Up" button on our page!
