3Rs and a clean-up


Having access to reliable information about the impact of consumption and waste generation on the environment is an essential precursor to changing one’s behaviour and daily habits surrounding these issues. For EWWR 2019, we challenge participants to educate themselves and others about waste and to put that knowledge into practice by changing their daily consumption habits in order to reduce their waste. Our theme for this year is Waste education and communication and we’ll be rallying support under the slogan Change your ways, Reduce your waste. Please use #EWWR2019 and #ReduceYourWaste to spread the word on social media.
Learn more about this year’s theme and consult our ideas for activities and thematic materials on the designated page on the EWWR website.

This week with Oliver. Amazing! Maple syrup Maple syrup Bottled maple syrup  Place of origin Canada United States Main ingredients Xylem   sap  (usually from  sugar maple ,  red maple , or  black maple )   Cookbook: Maple syrup      Media: Maple syrup Maple syrup  is a  syrup  usually made from the  xylem   sap  of  sugar maple ,  red maple , or  black maple  trees, although it can also be made from other  maple  species.

Maple trees are tapped by drilling holes into their trunks and collecting the exuded sap, which is processed by heating to evaporate much of the water, leaving the concentrated syrup. Maple syrup was first collected and used by the  indigenous...
