Toronto Celebrates Earth Day

By Ron Nurwisah, Boy Reporter

2006_4_21earth.jpgIn case this week’s issue of Now isn’t reminder enough, tommorow is Earth Day. And there are plenty of Earth Day events around town. Downsview Park is holding a festival and massive tree planting. They’re trying to plant 1000 trees so there should be plenty for all. There’ll be a live animal show, face painting and Torontoist favourite, crafts!
If trees are too big and you’d rather plant something smaller head down closer to the water (Budapest Park, at the foot of Roncesvalles) for the Sierra Club’s Earth Day event. Gayla Trail, author of You Grow Girl, will be doing a seed starting workshop. Guerilla Gardeners from the TPSC will also be there.
Now the more curmedgeonly of you probably don’t care about tree planting or environmentally, eco-hippie crap you might exclaim. Well for you just head to your local Starbucks with an empty mug in hand, they’ll fill it free for Earth Day. We hope that’ll shut you up.

    I did my part. Cleaned up some spot near High Park and planted wildflowers. It would be much easier though if people didn’t throw their garbage out the window and into High Park’s ravine as they drive their cars down Parkside Drive. When will they ever learn?

    Hello everyone,
    As a part of earth day (everyday) I just want to share some valuable information to you.
    How safe are the ingredients used in your current brand of personal care products? Beware! You are likely being exposed to several toxic chemicals, many classified as human carcinogens, “cancer causing ingredients.” on a daily basis. There is a great site http://www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep2
    to learm more about the toxic chemicals, major cosmetic companies dont want you to know about.
    Your skin is your largest organ and it will absorb everything you put on it. Be smart, be educated, please visit http://www.tgorganics.mionegroup.com to learn more about our natural, pure, toxic free “certified organic” skin care. My site has an abundant amount of valuable information that I would highly recommened everyone to check out. I would be happy to send out free samples to anyone who is interested. I can be contacted through my site or at trudygentile@sympatico.ca
