Get ready to make a big splash on June 8th as we celebrate World Oceans Day. World Oceans Day raises awareness about the crucial role oceans play in our lives. They give us oxygen, food, and regulate our climate. Sadly, they're facing threats like pollution and overfishing. Let's stand up for sustainable ocean management and preserve these amazing resources.<\/p>\n

Did you know:<\/strong><\/p>\n

World Oceans Day was born in Canada! It started as an idea during the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and was recognized by the United Nations in 2008. As Canadians, let's embrace this holiday's spirit and lead the way in ocean conservation.<\/p>\n

What we are doing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Realstar, water conservation is important to us, and we are actively investing in water conservation initiatives across our properties such as installing low-flow toilets, faucets, and showerheads. As a result of our water conservation efforts, we saved 63,500 m3 of water in 2022 – the equivalent of 25 Olympic-sized swimming pools.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How you can help:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
• Reduce Plastic: Say no to single-use plastics like bags and bottles. Opt for reusable alternatives and recycle properly.<\/li>\n
• Save Water: Conserve water at home by reporting leaks to your building management, taking shorter showers, and turning the tap off when not in use.<\/li>\n
• Choose Sustainable Seafood: Support responsible fishing by choosing sustainably sourced seafood with eco-certifications.<\/li>\n
• Spread the Word: Educate others about ocean importance and inspire them to take action. Use social media and community events to make waves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Together we can create a wave of change for our oceans. Remember, even small steps can have a big impact. Dive in and let's protect our oceans for generations to come!<\/p>\n

  Pr\u00e9parez-vous \u00e0 faire des remous le 8 juin pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer la Journ\u00e9e mondiale des oc\u00e9ans, un \u00e9v\u00e9nement global qui contribue \u00e0 sensibiliser les gens au r\u00f4le important que jouent les oc\u00e9ans dans notre vie. En effet, les oc\u00e9ans nous nourrissent, nous fournissent de l’oxyg\u00e8ne et aident \u00e0 r\u00e9gulariser notre climat. H\u00e9las, nos oc\u00e9ans doivent lutter contre des menaces comme la pollution et la surp\u00eache. Faisons un effort pour soutenir la gestion durable des oc\u00e9ans afin de conserver cette merveilleuse ressource.<\/p>\n\n

  Le saviez-vous ? <\/b><\/p>\n\n

  La Journ\u00e9e mondiale des oc\u00e9ans est n\u00e9e au Canada ! L’id\u00e9e a \u00e9t\u00e9 lanc\u00e9e en 1992, lors du Sommet plan\u00e8te Terre \u00e0 Rio de Janeiro, et a \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnue par les Nations Unies en 2008. En tant que Canadiens, adoptons l’esprit de cette journ\u00e9e comm\u00e9morative et montrons l’exemple avec des gestes qui prot\u00e8gent les oc\u00e9ans.<\/p>\n\n

  Des gestes concrets :<\/b><\/p>\n\n

  Chez Realstar, la conservation de l’eau nous tient \u00e0 c\u0153ur. Nous investissons activement dans de nombreuses initiatives de conservation de l’eau dans nos propri\u00e9t\u00e9s, notamment en installant des toilettes, des robinets et des pommes de douche \u00e0 faible d\u00e9bit. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 nos efforts en mati\u00e8re de conservation de l’eau, nous avons \u00e9conomis\u00e9 63 500 m^{3<\/sup> d’eau en 2022, soit un volume d’eau \u00e9quivalent \u00e0 25 piscines olympiques<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n}

  Pour participer…<\/b><\/p>\n\n

  R\u00e9duisez l’utilisation de plastique :<\/b> Dites non au plastique \u00e0 usage unique comme les sacs en plastique jetables ou les bouteilles en plastique non r\u00e9utilisables. Pr\u00e9f\u00e9rez des objets r\u00e9utilisables et recyclez-les correctement.<\/p>\n\n

  \u00c9conomisez de l’eau :<\/b> Conservez l’eau dans votre logement en signalant les fuites aupr\u00e8s de l’\u00e9quipe de gestion de l’immeuble, en prenant des douches de moins longue dur\u00e9e et en fermant les robinets lorsqu’on n’a pas besoin de laisser couler l’eau.<\/p>\n\n

  Optez pour des produits de la mer durables :<\/b> Appuyez la p\u00eache responsable en optant pour des produits de la mer portant des \u00e9co\u00e9tiquettes certifiant qu’ils sont issus de la p\u00eache durable.<\/p>\n\n

  Passez le mot :<\/b> Sensibilisez votre entourage au sujet de l’importance des oc\u00e9ans et encouragez vos amis et vos proches \u00e0 passer \u00e0 l’action. Utilisez les r\u00e9seaux sociaux et les \u00e9v\u00e9nements communautaires pour faire des vagues.<\/p>\n\n

  Ensemble, nous pouvons cr\u00e9er une vague de changement au service de nos oc\u00e9ans. N’oubliez pas que de petites mesures peuvent avoir un gros impact. Allons-y, plongeons \u00e0 la rescousse des oc\u00e9ans… et contribuons \u00e0 les prot\u00e9ger pour les g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures !<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>"]},"yoast_head":"\n
