Toronto Zoo - Working Plastic Free

Even though PFJ is over it's still important to reduce our waste!

The EcoChallenge initiative presented me with a tangible opportunity to change my behaviours with regards to the day-to-day use of certain materials and in doing so, bring awareness to others around me so that they too could become involved.  I have also learned that there are opportunities to advocate to larger entities (restaurants, stores...
