Deadly heatwaves, floods, storms, wildfires, droughts, crop failures...
This is not “the new normal”.
We’re at the very beginning of a climate and ecological emergency, and extreme weather events will only become more and more frequent.
#FaceTheClimateEmergency
Our deep thanks to The Sprott Foundation who doubled their support of food rescue this year to help increase access to healthy food during the pandemic & beyond. Read the press release: https://t.co/OI6TNcxHwb & our 1 on 1 interview with Juliana Sprott: https://t.co/KhCaw6AZbF
“We are trying to disrupt the whole system," says @Lorinikkel@SecondHarvestCA . "We are trying to deinstitutionalize, demystify and de-stigmatize food. We are not a #foodbank – we are experts in perishables." #makingadifference

Earth Day is a momentous and unifying day I look forward to each and every year. So many historic, incredible events happen on this day. This is active progress to save our planet! #EarthDay2021
Best Before Dates are the NEMESIS of food loss and waste. It's important to understand that best before dates for most foods are a GUIDELINE. Use your senses to determine if your food is safe to eat. This will make a huge impact on food waste in your home + save you a bit of $$
FOOD IN LANDFILL = REALLY, REALLY, BAD. Together, if we all take some small steps -use a shopping list, make sure you store your products well, compost, we can have a true impact on the climate crisis.
It's #NationalVolunteerWeek
Working at @SecondHarvestCA means coming into contact with incredible people willing to donate their time to a great cause. Here's to all the volunteers doing amazing work!
Happy #NationalPetDay2021 This is my dog Pacer, he's a rescue too! Our Greyhound can run very very fast... for about a minute. Then he must lie down for 23 hours. He's my perfect companion.
I'm supporting the 'Be The Love for ONE Better World' virtual Q&A! Head to this link to register & watch the interview between the Dalai Lama and 12 cutting-edge influencers to deliver actionable hope for all of humanity. #heart2Heart#OBWC https://t.co/kG7zPr4HTj
It's Earth Month- and if we're talking sustainability, we have to talk about plastic waste. Canada's made some great strides towards the issue - phasing out 6 single-use plastic items BUT, it's not enough. As consumers, we need to do more and we have the power to do so!
