Let’s think about the environment this summer

With summer and the vacations upon us, there's never been a better time to get together with friends and celebrate. Not surprisingly, this is also the time of year when consumption of beer and soft drinks reaches its peak. As a result, millions of cans and redeemable bottles end up in the garbage in our parks or littering our roads, waterways and nature trails.

Every summer, Consignaction raises awareness among vacationers about the importance of not throwing away their redeemable containers consumption, but returning them so they can be 100% recycled. In addition to an advertising campaign broadcast throughout Quebec, Consignaction has formed several partnerships with festivals, recreational tourism sites, and sports clubs.

For the second consecutive year, Consignaction will have a strong presence at Baie de Beauport SunLife Beach, on the shores of the St. Lawrence River in the Quebec City area. With its team of young facilitators, it will also tour several large parks and SEPAQ sites across the province to meet visitors and set up recycling facilities.

Here are a few places that are part of the Consignaction Summer Tour:

• Lachine Canal
• Boucherville Islands National Park
• Oka National Park
• Parc national du Mont-Orford
• Yamaska National Park
• Olympic Park Esplanade (Jackalope event)
• DISTRIX urban arts and sports festival

Have a great summer!
