Divert and Capture Project starting
Help us prove that we can reduce tiny plastic microfibers from getting into Georgian Bay . We are looking for help on the following:- 6 more volunteers from Parry Sound (to get to the 100) who will volunteer to have a filter installed on their washing machine so that we can track reduction of microfibers getting into Georgian Bay.
- Donations to this project will help us expand its scope and education If you are interested and are in the Parry Sound area, please contact us at info@gbf.org with the subject title Parry Sound Volunteer.To learn more about this project and microfiber pollution, and how you can help, please visit https://georgianbayforever.org/microplastics-impacts/
Families For Change Program
If you and your family are concerned about climate change, plastic pollution and wetland health, but don’t really know where to start, Georgian Bay Forever (GBF) has a program for you. It’s called Families For Change (F4C).How does it work?
It’s entirely up to your family. GBF’s new F4C program can take as much or as little time as you and your family have to devote to it. Your family can choose from 49 tasks in 4 different categories or you can simply focus on one or two. The categories include: clean up your shorelines, improve daily choices, choose fashion that matters, and preserve wetlands.
Is your family competitive? There is even an optional contest your family can enter for a chance to win 1 of 2 prizes from Patagonia.Please join families making a difference in reducing our collective impacts on the future of the environment. To get started, register at at this link
