Waste Reduction Week is a week in Canada that occurs every October, dedicated to educating and raising awareness about how we as a society can work together to reduce green house gas emissions, preserve natural resources, water and energy and protect the oceans that provide 50%-80% of the oxygen on Earth thanks to microorganisms and marine plants within that benefit from marine animals who face severe and life threatening issues due to poor waste management, including: Dead zones, entanglement, waste ingestion, toxic chemicals and general contamination.

Picking up litter and partaking in good waste management behaviours can aid towards making a difference.

With your help we can make our world and environment a better, healthier place!

Ocean Fact: Sea anemone start out as larva called planula. Once a planula finds a suitable habitat (such as a hard rock, sandy bottom, or coral reef), it attaches itself using its specialized front end. The larva then begins to develop a basal disc for anchoring, and grows tentacles and a mouth.

Another Ocean Fun Fact: If a turtle's eggs incubate below 27.7° Celsius, the turtle hatchlings will be male. But if the eggs incubate above 31° Celsius then the hatchlings will be female, and temperatures that fluctuate between the two extremes will produce a mix of male and female baby turtles.
