Last Wednesday, I sat outside in the sun after washing my car, having a great cup of coffee, listening to "Uptown Funk" and reading my email (as I do several times a day). I decided to see just went on this past Earth Day and when I searched, I got some very interesting and "pointing-the-finger-at-me" facts.
More than 6 million Canadians participated in Earth Day activities. Last Wednesday marked the launch of "Earth Day Every Day" which will hopefully help Canadians reduce their carbon footprint 20% by 2020. This is the website.
I also found a few interesting facts that made me jump off the hood of the car:
- Canada has 607 vehicles for every 1,000 people
- our greenhouse gas emission reached over 690 mega tonnes, on the increase
- every year Canada throws away over 8,800 tons of plastic
- we throw out 23 kg of household hazardous waste such as batteries
- we consume about 17,000 kwh per year in electricity, ranking the 4th highest
- over 62 trillion SPAM email messages are sent in a year, and each produces 0.03 grams of carbon dioxide
Good Night for now.
