24 Earth Days : the key to success
I planted 400,000 trees with a program that digitizes paper receipts, held a press conference behind a row of tomatoes with a beef farmer (the only meat supplier for grocery stores in Lac-Saint-Jean) who told us about traceability of food.
Developed a completely automated taxi-sharing system, launched the first 100% electric-powered refrigerated truck, announced an urban farming project on the roof of Jean Talon markets. Planted thousands of flowers on a mega landfill, served food under a bridge and in the Olympic Stadium boiler room, developed a genius certification in waste management -Action Reduction. Crossed France with Francis Hallé, reinvented the landscape with Pierre Thibault, sorted through packed snow to pick up garbage in downtown Montreal, put on sunscreen to collect garbage in Marseille.
Organized marches with not so many people, and organized marches with many many people. And celebrated no less than 24 Earth Days.
All of these achievements would NEVER have been possible without an amazing team, thousands of volunteers, fun friends and a patient family. But mostly it would never have been possible without Earth Day's partners. Since 2015, more than 250 active and direct partnerships have been gathered to support hundreds of thousands of citizens and organizations to keep the movement alive. If you are not already a partner of Earth Day, I invite you to get in touch, take advantage of the expertise that we have, and our infinitely rich networks. And above all, to make sure that our brands is for the benefit of a resilient and healthy planet.
