What do you do when no one is watching?

4/15/2019

Melissa St Amant, Communications Officer

In today’s assembly, Sarah encouraged everyone to think about how their actions impact the world we live in, especially when it comes to environmental initiatives

With Earth Week here and Earth Day fast approaching, Sarah asked everyone to spend this week considering their impact on our amazing planet from the view of what do you do when no one is watching?

When people try to ‘get away with’ disposing of toxic waste improperly, they need to learn that they are not getting away with anything. They are harming their planet and their environment, and it does not matter if anyone sees them because the damage is done.

Sarah expressed how important it is for every one of us to do our part in making a difference - whether that be avoiding single use plastic items, reducing the amount of meat you eat or walking instead of driving. Anything you do to help will make for a better planet.

She thanked our Environmental Committee for planning all of the Earth Week initiatives at Greenwood and wished everyone an excellent week.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and as settlers, we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
