Earth Day 2018: Guest post by Stephanie Wakelin!

Earth Day is on Sunday. This makes it extra special to be at church to thank God for our earth.

I am Stephanie and I live in Luskville, Quebec approximately 20 km out of Aylmer.  I enjoy walks and being able to observe the beauty of my surroundings.

However as the snow melts I feel discouraged as I see a trail of plastic bottles, cans and other litter thrown out of car windows along Route 148 and the side roads. Recently there are many articles and media feeds about plastic pollution floating in the oceans.  This  is wreaking havoc with fish and other ocean life.  Here in Canada I see the same damage in my own 'backyard' and I want to do more to fix this.
​
Let's all do something about this and start cleaning up the damage.  First we can do this by using reusable/refillable bottles.  Next, let's continue our work by organising groups to pick up litter on the side of the roads, parks and beaches in our own neighbourhoods .

Celebrate Earth Day by taking care of our earth.
