Instagram post 2238195503408251977_351128482 On the big screen in the MPR at Whistler Secondary School last week talking with our future eco-ambassadors! We covered a range of topics including: 🌎The difference between biodegradable and compostable 🌎Shifting our focus to refusal and reduction where possible 🌎Saying NO to straws, plastics bags, water bottles, coffee cups and ALL single-use plastics 🌎Ride sharing, biking, and taking the bus even after students have the freedom to drive on their own 🌎Repairing or mending items to keep them from landfill 🌎Stop. Think. Sort. Because there is no such thing as away . After 12 incredible audiences of combined classes grade 8-12, we think it’s safe to say we’re in pretty good hands.♻️✅ . #lovethisplacereduceyourwaste #zerowasteworkshops #zerowasteheroes #reducereuserecycle #littlethingswhistler #awarewhistler #zeroinonwaste #strawwars strawwarswhistler #ecowarriors #reuseitorloseit #whistlercommunitybuilders

Instagram post 2230742104706297332_351128482 Though they are rare, these sly foxy canines do live in Whistler🧡. You can ID their prints in the snow by four toes/toenails and a heel and the virtually straight line they leave behind. This is because their chest is so narrow. . #funfacts #mywhistler #foxyfriends #whistlernaturecamp #welovewhistler #lovethisplacereduceyourwaste #strawwarswhistler #exploreBC #pnw #whiswinterwonderland

Instagram post 2227207117830843810_351128482 Have you ever wondered where Whistler Mountain got its iconic name? 🏔 . After the local whistling marmots of course! These furry friends hibernate during the winter months, but if you’re lucky, you might spot one hanging out on an alpine rock like this one in the summer☀️. . #awarewhistler #mywhistler #onlyinwhistler #whistlermountain #lovethisplacereduceyourwaste #exploreBC #gooutside #funfacts #pnw 📷: @coastmtnphoto
