Markbrook Residents Group is coordinating with SNAP and TRCA initiatives happening in the neighborhood. We are advocating for the animation of Thackeray Park community garden plan for improved sustainability for the climate change and proper utilization of the proposed land in NW1. If the proposal gets approved under the sustenance of Rexdale Community Hub, residents with young children will have access to the City owned community garden who wish to grow their own organic vegetables, fruits and flowers. 

Community gardens leads to healthier lives by getting out doors into nature can help reduce stress, making people less likely to make unhealthy food choices and allows residents to consume organic food at less cost. Healthier Eco System act as hotspots for pollinating insects benefiting bio diversity. Community gardens leads to sharing ancestral agricultural knowledge with their kids, family, friends and neighborhood.

Many  of us don't give a thought to waste or the materials we discard. Proper waste management involves 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle). The use of garbage as a valuable resource usually recycling items that don't end up in landfill. Landfills give rise to air and water pollution which severely affects the environment, and proves fatal to lives and animals. It is important to avoid contamination odor's  and risk of toxic substances seeping in the ground and contaminating water sources.  

Recycling & Re-use  is one of the biggest aspects of waste management which helps to conserve energy. One of the  advantage is practice of recycling paper. When used paper is recycled to create new paper, cutting trees is significantly minimized.   

The biggest advantage of managing waste is eventually leading to a better and fresher eco-friendly environment, creation jobs and over the time this will reduce global warming.
