National Skip the Straw Day
Skip the Straw Day is all about reducing single-use plastics to reduce pollution and waste. It is estimated that 16 million straws are used daily in Canada—that’s a lot of plastic! By simply going straw-less or switching to reusable options (like paper or metal), we can drastically reduce the amount of harmful plastics that end up in our oceans and landfills.
International Polar Bear Day
Polar Bear Day is celebrated annually to raise awareness around polar bear conservation. Climate change poses a threat to polar bears, especially to newborn cubs. Melting sea ice, resulting from rising global temperatures, affects their habitat and ability to hunt. This day encourages education and action around conservation efforts, living sustainably, and reducing carbon footprint, linking how human actions can affect Arctic health.
