As lock down measures have many of us working or studying from home, we cherish the opportunities we had to speak with children about OnePieceADay and how the decisions we make everyday impact the environment.
As we look back at some of the events we held in the past, it is important to help our children remember the importance of protecting our planet. They may now be learning from home, but they still hold the key to our future.

Tamara Conway in full action at Forest Hill Public School teaching the children about litter, plastic pollution and the small simple steps we can all take (like picking up one piece of litter a day!) to help protect our lakes and oceans. What a thrill to spend the morning with an incredible group of Eco-warriors ready to help clean the planet!

A big shout out to Ledbury Park PS for committing to pick up 100,000 pieces of litter this year! What if your school or group could do this too? What would that do for your community? What would it do for you? Thank you Ledbury Park PS!

A fantastic day spent with the TDSB EcoSchool Team and the incredible teachers who are so passionate about the environment. We were so excited about visiting these wonderful schools and help to bring awareness of the impact litter, and single-use plastics, has on our lakes and oceans!

We had the absolute privilege to be the keynote speaker at Chief Dan George Public School’s Environmental Symposium. We can’t say enough about this school and the incredible Eco-warriors wanting to make a difference.
William G. Miller Junior Public School

It doesn’t matter what school we visit, we are always so truly impressed and incredibly inspired by each student we meet. They race over to us after each presentation and can’t wait to share all their stories about how they are making a difference. This group of Grade 3 girls set up a Schoolyard Litter Team right after our presentation, and now clean up the school every chance they get. They really are amazing!
