The Planet and “Our Well-Being”

Back in 2019, around the Christmas dinner table, the discussion turned to what can we do in 2020 to make the world a better place. We all agreed that the environment at the time was top of mind and we all committed to NOT use plastic bags. This was the one action that we could collectively do, and feel good in reducing our footprint when it came to plastic bags. *According to Biological diversity.org – North Americans use on average 1 bag per day/365 days a year. With 14 adults at the table, our action could have reduced at least 5110 bags!

 

Unbeknownst to us, a Pandemic was just around the corner and by the time March 2020 came around, using brand new plastic bags at the grocery stores, buying everything online and having multitudes of packaging in the garbage every week was unavoidable. So much for our New Year’s resolution in 2019!

2021 news headlines have been filled with the effects of climate change and climate-related disasters around the world. In North America alone, the fires throughout the summers, and the floodings happening now out West and out East, are creating incredible loss of property, livelihoods and creating mental health issues that will last decades, if not lifetimes.

 

2022 is just around the corner and we want to start the New Year off with a few committed resolutions that we hope will make a difference.

 

Darkwoods Conservation Area- Nature Conservancy of Canada

 

This year, we are pleased to donate to the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s (NCC’s) Darkwoods Conservation Area in British Columbia, on your behalf. Conserved in 2008 and expanded in 2019, Darkwoods is a 63,000-hectare project that spans remote valleys, mountains and lakes in the West Kootenay. Darkwoods Conservation Area provides essential habitat for 39 species at risk, including grizzly bears and bull trouts. Our donation will support replanting trees in areas affected by wildfire on the Darkwoods property in the summer 2022. This will include purchasing and growing seedlings of climate resilient species of western larch, Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine, to be planted out in the spring of 2023.

Happy Holiday,

The Applegath Group

Wow, what a difference a month can make. When we last blogged about what was going on, the world was reacting to the “Liberation Day” tariff announcements.
