Here in Nova Scotia, our peatlands play a crucial role in fighting climate change, supporting biodiversity, and purifying our water. Let’s protect these incredible ecosystems for future generations! 🍃💧

This grassroots awareness day encourages individuals, communities, and governments to reduce single-use plastics and help protect our oceans, waterways, and ecosystems for future generations. 🌊🐢

As we reflect on the importance of keeping plastic out of our environment, we’re also looking ahead to our final Fri-YAY at Green Schools on June 5th, where we’ll be diving into the topic of ocean plastics and exploring ways we can all be part of the solution.
