Tell Me Tuesday: How are you involving kids in nature?

I live across the street from a grade school (which has its advantages and disadvantages), and noticed yesterday that some students have been busy clearing out the vegetable patch out front to make way for some new plants.

Tell Me Tuesday: Are you doing any green spring cleaning?

Spring is here! At least, it is in Toronto. Today. And possibly tomorrow. But even if the weather does turn wintry again (as I fully expect it will), spring is certainly on its way.

Tell Me Tuesday: Which sweater should Panda wear for National Sweater Day?

Clearly, a really important question this week. With National Sweater Day fast approaching (this Thursday, February 9!), Panda has a major fashion decision to make – and she needs your help!

Tell Me Tuesday: What’s your favourite eco-holiday?

Now that Christmas, Hanukkah and New Years are past, a new holiday season is upon us: the eco-holiday season. Starting with National Sweater Day on February 9, continuing with Earth Hour on March 31, then on to Earth Day on April 22, followed by Oceans Day on June 8…the list goes on.

Tell Me Tuesday: What’s your wish for the planet?

With Hannukah here, Christmas just days away and the new year peeking around the corner, it’s a great time of the year to think about wishes.

Tell Me Tuesday: Trains, planes and automobiles – how are you cutting your transportation footprint?

I’m in Ottawa for meetings this week, a visit I make on a bi-monthly basis. There’s nothing to replace face time with our Arctic team (which is based in Ottawa), so these trips are incredibly valuable for me (and hopefully for them!). But getting to Ottawa takes some consideration.

Tell me Tuesday: What’s your eco-history?

A few years ago, WWF ran a great series of ads based on some incredibly sexist ads from the 1940s and 50s. One showed a woman cleaning a bathtub (in heels, no less!) with the line: “Because a woman’s place isn’t just in the kitchen!” Over this, WWF wisely added: “Not long from now, the way we’ve been treating the planet will seem just as wrong.”

Tell Me Tuesday: Green Gifts for the Holidays

Shocking as it may be, it’s that time of year again: just over a month until Christmas (and just under a month to Hanukkah)! I’m a huge fan of all holidays, especially those that involve presents, so I’m pretty excited.

Tell Me Tuesday: How do you stay warm?

As I’m pretty sure everyone I’ve ever met (or who regularly reads the WWF blog) now knows I’m in Churchill, Manitoba, Polar Bear Capital of the World, this week. And it is cold.

Last week, WWF was proud to host its first Canadian Panda Ball to celebrate our 50th anniversary (yay!) and help raise some funds for the panda.

Tell Me Tuesday: Can Halloween be less scary for the planet?

It’s less than two weeks until that all important night: that’s right, Halloween. It’s a fun holiday, for sure, but hardly the most eco-friendly.

Tell Me Tuesday: What green actions make you feel you’re doing your part?

Anyone who knows me can tell you how much I love working at WWF (so much!), but there are occasional downsides to this job. Sometimes it feels like too much knowledge or understanding is one of them.

Tell Me Tuesday: do you love sharks?

I think we all agree that sharks are pretty cool – and now they’re also getting some protection for important habitats.

The three Rs – reduce, reuse, recycle

It has been some years since I had a “back to school” day, but I still remember the excitement and nervousness fondly. The thrill of newly sharpened pencils and fresh notebooks, meeting new teachers and friends, and, of course, learning new things.
