Earth Day launch re-visited

On Sunday, April 22 (Earth Day!), Arise launched it's impact on Toronto by organizing and participating in a clean-up of the Peace Garden in Regent Park. The Peace Garden was created and planted by Elsaida, who lives in the area, in peaceful retaliation of violence and war in communities. It was surprising to see how much litter was strewn around the garden and the surrounding children's playground; the before and after effect was astonishing and wonderful to see. Many thanks to those who came out! We'll be re-visiting the garden to help Elsaida again soon!

Arise also has a 'zine created by the wonderful and talented ladies Naomi Wilson and Jenna Kess. The 'zine is a fun and creative read that presents information and articles as to what each individual can change about their lifestyle to help save the environment. The next issue will come out sometime in the summer. In the meantime, explore the blog, and if you have any information/articles/thoughts/ideas that you'd like to pass along, you can email them to us at arise.toronto@gmail.com.
