Student Resource Arbor Day happens on a Friday before May 10 every year. This day started in the 1950s, when the City of Edmonton gave out evergreen seedlings to grade one students. The Alberta provincial government also started to give seedlings to every grade one student in the province. Every year, over 14 000 students receive these seedlings. On Arbor Day, people are encouraged to plant trees. Listen to this CBC radio interview to find out more about Arbor Day on the City of Edmonton’s website at www.edmonton.ca/environmental/ documents/Audio/ArborDayFor WEB.mp3. How could an event like Arbor Day make a difference to your own or your family’s quality of life Schoolyard Clean Up involves schools in a litter cleanup campaign. The City of Edmonton provides garbage bags and disposable gloves. Schools decide how to pick up and clean the litter and garbage in their schoolyards. They can schedule their cleanup right up until June 30. The City also awards prizes to the three tidiest schoolyards in each of four areas of the city. Why might a friendly competition like the Schoolyard Clean Up motivate kids to get involved with litter cleanup 162 Make A Better City
Student Resource 15 to Clean Challenge is an example of micro-volunteerism! This program encourages people to spend only 15 minutes of time to help make a big difference in the city. In one year of the program, almost 800 citizens took part, collecting 373 bags of garbage and reporting 24 locations of graffiti vandalism. How could a contribution of 15 minutes of time to an event like the 15 to Clean Challenge make a difference to your neighbourhood What would that difference be Adopt a Block encourages people, businesses and community groups to adopt a block in their neighbourhood or business area and work together to keep it free of litter during the spring and summer. Adopt a Block volunteers can adopt the block surrounding their home or business, or any block of space in their community, such as a schoolyard or a neighbourhood park. What could the potential effect be if every block in the city was adopted by a group What could the potential effect be if your classroom adopted the block around your school Make A Better City 163
