One way to participate in the Million Tree Project is by conserving Canada’s existing trees. Make a plan, and tell us about it! Visit bit.ly/3mzNxlm and click the “Register Your Commitment” button to share your conservation goals.
- Here are some simple ideas to get you started:
- Reduce, reuse, and most definitely recycle!
- Restore used wooden furniture instead of buying new
- Buy new wood products from sustainably managed forests: look for Forest Stewardship Council, Canadian Standards Association, or Sustainable Forestry Initiative certification
- Use less paper by buying recycled paper products; printing fewer, double-sided pages; buying ebooks and digital subscriptions to newspapers and magazines; choosing reusable bags, plates, napkins, and towels
Encouraging manufacturers to adopt renewable practices, and encouraging governments to implement stronger environmental policies, are also ways to ensure a greener future for Canadians, and Canada’s trees.
