Beyond Attitude Consulting acknowledges we operate in Mi’kma’ki – the unceded territory and ancestral homeland of the Mi’kmaq First Nation. Our relationship is based on a series of Peace and Friendship treaties between the Mi’kmaq First Nation and the Crown, dating from 1725 to 1779. In 1999 the Supreme Court of Canada, in R v Marshall, upheld the 1752 treaty “which promised Indigenous Peoples the right to hunt and fish their lands and establish trade.”
We also acknowledge that we work and play in many unceded territories and ancestral homelands of Indigenous Peoples across North America, and respect the rights and traditions of the many First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples therein.
We are all Treaty People.
Rid Your Kitchen of Fruit Flies
In the last 20 years I have used Community-based Social Marketing to help millions of people across Canada and the UK to compost. But at this time of year, I always feel a little guilty when people complain about having fruit flies in their kitchens.
I have been showing people how to build these simple fruit fly traps for over 10 years, on television and in person. So I produced a short video for YouTube showing how to do it. Keep in mind that this can be used to remove a barrier if people tell you they will not compost because they don’t want fruit flies. So feel free to share this video if it will help with your CBSM composting campaigns.
UPDATE: Mark from Alberta sent me a note saying he uses Apple Cider Vinegar and saves the wine for himself. I tested it and it seems that Apple Cider Vinegar works as well as red wine. So feel free to substitute.
