Today our Grade 7 Millies planted 83 trees in Beechnut Park! The weather was perfect, and the students were incredibly happy to be there and giving back to their community! Thank you @Oakvillegreen and the @townofoakville for being such wonderful partners in this work. 🌳
'It’s brilliant to see this research confirming that trees are literal life-savers, protecting city-dwellers against the impacts of heatwaves in urban areas. This should spur us all on to expand our urban forests as a key action to adapt to a warmer future climate. We hope that…
In 1970, people came together demanding government create & enforce laws that protect swimmable drinkable water & keep waste, sewage & toxins out of our water & food. Earth Day is a celebration & reminder of our responsibility. @swimdrinkfish
We're losing wildlife. Frogs, butterflies, bumblebees, hedgehogs, moths, bats, insects, birds are all declining. But if more of us take positive actions for biodiversity in our gardens, communities, landscapes and towns, we can help nature bounce back. Who's in?
“Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity." - Lewis Mumford way back in 1955. Arguably the most important quote in city-building. READ my past @planetizen post. planetizen.com/node/53659
We need to plant many more native trees in urban spaces, and better protect and value existing ones. This helps nature and wildlife. It's #ClimateAction. It reduces floods, pollution and urban heating. And it improves our lives. More: bit.ly/2eMCYds Via @nature_org
The Canada-Ontario MOU regarding evaluation of proposals regarding Highway 413 does NOT prevent Canada from re-designating & @envirodefence - & voters who care about the environment, still expect - & demand 413 be re-redesignated under the new, revised Impact Assessment Act.

A simple Yes to trees is a big Yes to the health and wellbeing of communities. From offering life-saving shade during summer, to boosting moods, to lowering respiratory conditions—trees are amazing. When we plant trees in communities where they’re needed most, we all benefit 💪
Is a park still a park if it’s paved?: thenarwhal.ca/opinion-peterb… Urban planning should reflect lessons learned during COVID: build up, not out -or over- green space & treat natural assets as such. Parks are one of our most democratic places & were created for everyone to enjoy!
Urban trees are natural oxygen factories 👇 A single urban tree can provide a day's worth of oxygen for up to four people. Not only do they enhance the beauty of our cities, but they also work silently to improve the air we breathe!
When you say Yes! to trees, it's not just for our human neighbors. Trees are critical for the animal kingdom. They cool rivers and streams for our aquatic friends. They are also provide food and the home address for many feathered, furry, crawly, and scaly friends 🦋
One large mature tree removes 60–70 times more pollution than a small tree. It's so important that we not only plant new trees, but protecting and preserving the ones we have in our forests and communities! 💪
