We love to recycle!!

Past Initiatives• There are many projects we have done is the

past:

• Water Bottle Filling Stations• Rain Garden• Composting • School Audits on Energy Consumption• Light’s Out Fridays• Plant’N Pulls

• A group of students go out into the community and remove invasive species.

Plant’N Pulls

Thanks to many volunteers, including ND Secondary students, more than 180 cubic metres of invasive English ivy have been removed from the Delta Nature Reserve. Hundreds of native shrubs and ferns have been planted instead.

• Whenever it rains, runoff water containing toxins, road salt, grit, excess fertilizers, pesticides, cigarette butts, plastic and paper enter our local streams

• The polluted water harms fish health and is bad for the local ecosystem

• A rain garden naturally absorbs and filters runoff water, instead of allowing it to flow into local streams.

What is a Rain Garden?

Aluminum WaterBottle Project

• In the past, we sold Aluminum Water Bottles in the foyer

• They were for five dollars– Can still be bought, if you wish

• They were a great success

• Plastic water bottles cost about $2.00 or more per day

• Aluminum Water Bottles cost about $10 per year

• In the overall scheme, which costs less?

Benefits of Aluminum Bottles

It’s just filtered tap water, even declared that their

water comes from a well whichthey then filter!

Why not just buy a Water Filter from Walmart or Canadian Tire?
