Albertans Celebrate Environment Week

Posted June 6, 2013 by LSC

June 2 – 8, 2013

Environment Week celebrates Alberta’s environment. It is a great time for Albertans to host and attend events that include some learning, some fun and some action. Action is doing something on purpose to lessen your impact on the environment. Celebrating and action projects are great ways to bring a community together towards a greener future.

Participating in local Environment Week events is a great way to discover easy things you can do for the environment. The choices you make – big and small – really do make a difference because your action counts!

Celebrate by hosting or visiting a Green Stop in your community. What’s a Green Stop? They are Environment Week events organized by local citizens and community groups designed to educate, empower and engage community members. It can be anything from nature walks, talks, clean ups, hands-on experiences with nature or displays. Dream up a bright idea and make a difference in your community.

Visit Alberta Environment’s website to learn more about Green Stops and how you can get involved.

Get Involved This Environment Week!

Around the World

The United Nations has designated the year 2013 as the International Year of Water Cooperation. Canadian Environment Week will promote the theme: Water – Working Together.

Environment Week is a great opportunity for Canadians to celebrate our achievements in protecting the natural environment. It is also about people working together to preserve, protect and restore our water.

Let us reflect on the importance of our water resources globally, and how to protect them. Each and every day, water lies at the centre of our well-being, and is critical to our transportation needs and many recreational activities.

Across the Country

Protecting Canada’s natural environment reaps a world of benefits for Canadians, from strengthening the economy to enhancing health and quality of life. Canadian Environment Week is the perfect time to celebrate our achievements and initiatives in protecting water resources, tackling climate change and reducing air pollution.
