As we posted yesterday, NLG encouraged all Nisga’a citizens to actively observe Earth Day.

And yet, how did NLG observe Earth Day?

NLG staff proudly observed Earth Day by participating in the “Spread a Little Sunshine” project initiated by the Human Resources Department at NLG.

Under this project, NLG staff were randomly divided up into 6 teams each of whom compete with one another by having a contest as to who could grow the tallest sunflower the fastest!

Growing season starts Earth Day, and end Friday August 30, 2013.

It’s a low cost, fun project that does not take much time, and makes the world a little more green. Si'aamhl wilin, Cheryl Pelletier for another great idea!

So if this idea ‘takes root’, we’ll be sure to have these sunflowers on display out front at NLG in a few months time. We’ll keep you posted!
