So excited this CleanRiver Recycling Solutions bird nest box set up by Luke and his classmates worked! Pringle Creek P.S. has six eggs! 🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚We've been told they might be chickadee eggs. Will be reporting this to Bird Studies Canada Project NestWatch!  Thanks so much, MGCI for helping us collect over 1611 pens! 😄The staff and MGCI EcoTeam have done a fantastic job throughout the year. Hopefully, the rest of TDSB can get on board with Operation EcoPen next year! Will be taking these to Staples Canada for recycling at TerraCycle Canada.  Another 4500 squirmy mealworms to be sent to the cute patients at Toronto Wildlife Centre!  Busy exam/final project week, so we disappeared for a little while. Got this picture of a little brown bat being fed one of Luke's locally-grown mealworms from the awesome team at Toronto Wildlife Centre that was too cute not to share!  Operation EcoPen is so excited to participate in the Crayon Initiative. This is an awesome program operating from the US to recycle used crayons to make newer crayons for sick kids in hospitals. We're so happy to be able to do our part north of the border. We're collecting crayons from restaurants in the GTA . It's hard to find affordable housing today in Toronto and the GTA - for birds too! That's why my friends and I set up a CleanRiver Bird Nesting Box as part of Project NestWatch! It provides a safe place for birds to lay their eggs and nest.  We've increased production! Donated ~5500 locally grown mealworms to Toronto Wildlife Centre today.  Dropped off ~2,000 mealworms at the Toronto Wildlife Centre. They are nutritious for many types of animals. I raised these mealworms myself by feeding them healthy leftover vegetable scraps. This helps reduces food waste and helps us raise food for animals in need!   Thanks so much to Celina Caesar-Chavannes and her team for giving Operation EcoPen a try! We love her ecofriendly initiatives such as #CommunityCleanup with #TeamCelina and recycling milk bags into mats with Whitby Federal Youth Council. Maybe Catherine McKenna #TeamMcKenna would like to try Operation EcoPen, too, since the federal government plans to reduce plastic waste https://www.cbc.ca/…/environment-g7-oceans-plastic-waste-ca… |
