Canadian Environment Week occurs each year during the week of June 5. It is meant to refocus Canadians’ attention on nature conservation, preservation of natural resources, and climate change. This celebration is a way for Canadian citizens to come together and celebrate protecting their beautiful natural environment. During this special week, various campaigns raise awareness for biodiversity, environment protection, and watching wild spaces. These activities also include campaigns to promote recycling, sustainable energy, and environmentally friendly products.
Organizers of these events hope to motivate Canadian citizens to participate in conservation-focused actions such as cleaning up their neighbourhoods or investing in renewable energy. This week also emphasizes the need for citizens to be aware of minimizing their carbon footprint through recycling, repurposing, and reusing products. More actions citizens participate in for the Canadian Environment Week can follow are ridesharing, biking to work, or telecommuting.
