Giving tomato plants a great start with our mealworm frass. 🌱🍅🌱 Scientifically based! "frass has a great potential to be used as a partial or a complete substitute for mineral NPK fertilizer" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-61765-x

So an update on our recycled veggie scraps: leek cuttings at different stages of regrowth. Leeks in the glass container were on window sill. Three on the left were later transferred potting soil. And check out the regrown leek cuttings in the grow bag! Thought they wouldn't survive because we just threw them out in the cold several weeks ago after Mom got worried about bugs in the house. Tasted just as good as the originals! 😋   Living the good life! Donated ~10,000 locally-grown mealworms to Toronto Wildlife Centre this week. We love their work! 🤩🐇🦔🦇  Happy 50th Earth Day! A little self-isolation green project...regrowing veggies from kitchen scraps! 🥕🌱Brings a little joy to watch something grow, reminds us about food waste and how to be more sustainable, and -- on this particular Earth Day -- gets us thinking about the sacrifice of those who grow food and make it available to us.🙂  Our hearts go out to Hillsdale Terraces, who have been great Operation EcoPen partners from the very beginning, during this COVID-19 crisis. Sending our best wishes to those affected and hoping for a speedy recovery. 😥  Our mealworm version of the graph showing why we have to flatten the curve. There is only so much wheat bran there at any given time, so some mealworms will have to go hungry if there's too many of them at once! Even though we're young and probably won't get seriously sick from COVID-19, we know we still have to do our part and stay home so that we don't spread it to people who are not as strong. (Also, we're pretty clumsy, so if we get hurt, the hospital might be too full to help us!) These juicy mewos will soon be harvested and will be going to the wonderful team at Toronto Wildlife Centre. Stay well everybody! 🤧😷🤒#flattenthecurve #stayhome #stayathome  So excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with the Sustainability Office at the University of Toronto in recycling their writing instruments. Pens and markers will go to Staples Canada for recycling at TerraCycle Canada  Enormous thank you to Ms. Bianka Warren and @Claremont Public School for their contribution of markers for recycling!♻️😁♻️These will go to Staples Canada for recycling at TerraCycle Canada .  The mealworm community has spoken. Ontario Ambrosia apples win the taste test over Red Delicious, Yellow Delicious, and Green Smith apples! Eat up, little guys! Gave away 3200 mewos to Toronto Wildlife Centre this week. Thank you to TWC for helping our local wildlife! 🐺🦌🐰  Excited to have Cora restaurants participate in collecting used crayons for The Crayon Initiative!😀🖍We had a great brunch at Cora restaurants, too!  |
