Royal Canadian Legion poppies for 2022 are made of materials including cotton and bambooThe Royal Canadian Legion's poppy campaign has begun, and this year, the red floral symbol to remember those who served and support veterans is biodegradable.This year, there's an environmentally friendly take on the poppies worn in the lead-up to Remembrance Day.
"Probably by next year, all the poppies that you'll see out and about will be the new biodegradable ones," Harris said.Windsor MorningIn honour of Remembrance day, the Legion's poppy campaign is back with an eco friendly twist A greener option, though, would be for people to reuse their poppy every year, but still contribute to legions' annual fundraiser, she said.
"When plastic ends up in nature, it's not even the weight of it that's the problem — it's where does it go. It gets washed into drains, it goes into our lakes, and rivers and oceans, and it really can harm wildlife."According to the Royal Canadian Legion, the poppy campaign raises about $20 million annually to support programs for veterans.
