International Day of Forests 2023
The theme for 2023 is “Forests and Health”
Forests give us so much to our health. They purify the water, clean the air, capture carbon to fight climate change, provide food and life-saving medicines, and improve our well-being.
It’s up to us to safeguard these precious natural resources.
This 2023 calls for giving, not just taking, because healthy forests will bring healthy people.
Did you know?
* The total number of plant species used for medicinal purposes could be as high as 50 000.
* Several studies proved that a visit to a forest environment lowers blood pressure and pulse rate, and reduces cortisol levels.
* The world is losing 10 million hectares of forest each year due to deforestation - about the size of Iceland- and insects damage around 35 million hectares of forest annually.

Global Recycling Day is a day to learn how to stop producing products that produce waste. It is a day where one can learn how to support a circular economy.
*
Only 9% of plastic gets recycled, globally since 1950 (Plastics Europe, 2006). The Green Jar has created partnerships with companies that help reduce single-use plastics from entering landfills through creative initiatives. These partnerships make it easy for our community to make green choices and to #reduce #recycle #reuse #repurpose #refuse
*
♻️To celebrate, we @thegreenjarshop are offering 10% off your refills today, with your #hardtorecycleplastics donation.
*
Drop by with your #2 ,#5 plastic , coffee bags, pens, photocopy ink cartridges, bread & milk clips and oral care donations between 10am-6pm.
1061 St Clair Ave W.
Don`t forget to bring your clean & dry containers!

Wowee, we have collected a little over 1,600 pounds (725KG) of textiles in 3 days!! That’s a lot of textiles saved from landfill!
*
Give yourself a big high-five.
*
As we have learned, the average person throws away 37 kilograms of textiles each year, and 95 per cent of those clothes could be reused or recycled.
(Source: Waste Reduction, @cityofto)
Every 1lb of clothing reused and saved from landfill prevents 15lbs of greenhouse gasses. That means that @thegreenjarshop community has helped to divert 24,000 pounds(10,887KG) of greenhouse gasses from entering our atmosphere!
*
In 2023, you have helped us collect 2,900 pounds of textiles and a whopping 5,676 pounds collected from all 3 events!
If you missed the event and require a pickup, email us: connect@thegreenjarshop.com to schedule a local pickup for a fee.

🗓 Today is International Women`s Day!
Making up 51% of the Earth’s population, women and girls around the world are actively working towards creating a just, sustainable, and climate-safe future.
Unfortunately, large structural gaps in inequality remain as barriers to reaching those goals.
✊️ Collectively, we need to recognize the many benefits women bring to the table to start to close the gaps and accelerate action to solve the climate crisis.
🌍 Research suggests women-owned and women-led businesses have better performance around environmental, social and governance (ESG) measures as well as sizable financial results. But they remain under-represented and often underfunded (Source: Globe and Mail, 2022).
👉 That`s why we`ve put together this list of Women-Led Businesses Leading in Sustainability! Read it at the link in our bio!
💕 Many thanks to our tagged partners and members of our Sustainability Alliance for every.single.action they take to push the environmental movement forward!

To unite employees around the mission of strengthening and giving back to local communities, yesterday, Intuit employees around the world participated in its first ever global `Small Business Big Impact Day`.
Intuit teams purchased $1M worth of items directly from #smallbusinesses around the world. In #Toronto, we worked with 14 small businesses and in #Edmonton, six small businesses, to put together helpful items to donate to nonprofits.
The #SmallBizBigImpact initiative demonstrates Intuit`s longest standing core value of We Care & Give Back which encourages employees to take an active role in improving their local communities.
Special thanks to all the Canadian small businesses that helped us make this day possible 💚:

Whoa, we just had a 13°C drop in temperature in less than 24 hours!
This calls for a hot cup of tea with a few slices of dehydrated lemons.
*
Dehydrated lemons are amazing antioxidants, packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre.
It`s an extra boost of vitamin C when your body needs it.
You can use dehydrated citrus in stews, teas, cakes, ice cream...
Pair it with our @thegreenjarshop unpasteurized wildflower Ontario honey - your immune system will thank you!
*
We love dehydrating food, because it allows one to:
-Enjoy fruits and veggies throughout the year
-Save money
-Reduce food waste
-Store food in a smaller space
-Enjoy healthier, more flavourful foods
*
Want to try it at home?
To dry citrus, choose non-GMO, organic.
-Wash well and slice to about 1/4 inch. Make sure all slices are the same thickness to ensure even drying.
-Use an oven, food dehydrator or air fryer.
-Place slices in single layer and avoid overlapping.
-Dry at 35 Celsius or 95 Fahrenheit to maintain nutrients and colour. If not possible to keep the heat that low, then you dry as high as 60C/140F.
-Dry for about 2 to 4 hours, depending on temperature.
-Once the fruit snaps when you break it, you can be certain there is no more water content left ( this is important to avoid mould)
-Allow to completely cool, before storing.
-Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
*
When enjoying dried citrus in tea, we like to add a stick of cinnamon, clove and aromatic cardamon.
Do you dehydrate fruits or veggies to enjoy during the winter?
What`s your favourite?

🌱It’s one of those days where we are excited to do some garden planning!
Whether it’s on the balcony, or in the backyard, there are lots of items that can begin growing this month.
-Cress
-Oregano
-Thyme
-Peppers
-Celery
-Onions
-Broad beans
*
What are you planting this season?
❓Do you have any requests? We will do our best to provide some more seeds this season.
*
The avid gardener will know that last year’s seeds - kept under ideal conditions - will still provide a bounty this year.
That said, we have reduced our 2022 @uharvest certified organic seeds! They are 40% off!
Happy germinating!
