World Ecology Day is celebrated on November 1st to highlight the relationship between humans and nature. It is a reminder that human well-being and the health of the planet are closely tied together, and calls us all to be better stewards of the land.

It's Waste Reduction Week and Circular Economy Month — the perfect time to rethink how we celebrate Halloween sustainably!

Today for #WorldFoodDay, we join the global call for collaboration across communities to transform our food systems. At Ecosource, local action is at the heart of this global movement - through community gardens, composting, youth education, and food-sharing initiatives.

Do you know the difference between Best Before and Expiration Dates? Understanding food labels helps reduce waste and saves you money. For more information check out: 🔗 https://t.co/XLfk57rL3B 🔗 https://t.co/y7X7Tzf98u 🔗 https://t.co/DINiDXfkuh
