šŸŒæ New Beginnings: Think Green, Live Green!Ā 

A New Year starts with new beginningsā€¦. the Bethune Environmental Action Teamā€™s motto is Think green, live green. As we start 2026, Torontoā€™s recycling rules have officially changed! Here are some helpful reminders for a fresh start:

  • Updated Recycling: You can now put black plastic, toothpaste tubes, and deodorant sticks in the Blue Bin (empty and rinsed!).
  • Green Bin Basics: Use it for all food scraps (meat/bones included) and soiled paper like tissues and napkins.
  • Energy Audit: Unplug "phantom" electronics like chargers and turn off lights when leaving the room.
  • Ditch Single-Use: Carry a reusable water bottle and cloth bags to avoid plastic waste.
  • Cold Water Wash: Use the "cold" setting on your laundry to save energy and protect your clothes.
  • Shorten Showers: Aim for 5 minutes to save both water and heating energy.

šŸ†Ā The January BEAT Challenge:

Can you go the whole week without using a single-use plastic water bottleĀ or coffee cup? Snap a photo of your reusable gear and let us know how you did! @bethunebeat @ecoschoolscanĀ 

...because the Earth is all we have in common.
