The Importance of Being Green


Give this a thought. Canadians use 9-15 billion plastic shopping bags every single year.Is that number too big to think about? Well if we tied 9 billion bagstogether they would circle the earth 55 times!

Plant a tree. Change a lightbulb. Drive less. Everyone can make a difference
and everyone can do their part.
Here are some ways you can help:
