Earth Week

Brantford had a few events to celebrate Earth Week: School ground greening, Gateway to the Green Belt greening, various tree planting, trail and other community clean up, speakers for the "Solar & Wind Power for the Homeowners",etc.

Unfortunately, I was not able to attend any of them. I celebrate the Earth as part of my life. On Earth Day, Bob & I went cycling for recreation and went to the Annual Book Fair (held by the Brantford Symphony Orchestra). We donated books but we bought books as well! That's reusing/recycling!

Check out the book titles I brought home. The second from the top is Herb Gardening.

We also attended the "Green Living Show" in Toronto where there were tons of information about Solar & Wind power. A few hybrids to test drive: Bob took a Smart car for a test drive. I was only able to see less than half of the exhibits because I was too busy sampling all the organic & healthy foods and beverages! Next time, I'll have to bring more cash as I found out that the merchandise you buy here are not only cheaper but also tax free.

When I'm not voulunteering, one can always find me in the garden: weeding, cultivating, dividing, transplanting- nurturing the Earth.
