Jour de la Terre

Canada was one of the first countries to celebrate Earth Day and one of the first to celebrate it by leaving a Tim Hortons cup on the ground. The irony is not lost. But the spring cleanup tradition, where entire neighborhoods pick up the winter's worth of garbage, is genuine and it works because Canadians are competitive about everything, including who can fill the most garbage bags.

World Earth Day

Canada's environmental story is complex: home to extraordinary wilderness, extractive industries, and increasingly serious climate commitments.

Animals of Costa Rica Day

You spot the resplendent quetzal, three-toed sloths, scarlet macaws, and jaguars throughout Costa Rica's diverse ecosystems and cloud forests. You notice that Costa Ricans predominantly keep dogs, cats, and occasionally exotic birds like macaws and toucans as pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.

Products of Senegal Day

You taste Maggi's dominance in Senegalese cooking, where this brand has become inseparable from everyday seasoning and street food culture. You also recognize Senegal's peanut butter and peanut oil production as foundational exports that built the nation's agricultural reputation.
