Element5 ~ An Evolution in Wellness

Please join us for Element 5 Spa’s FIRST charity walk! Our group is walking 6km through uptown Saint John, tomorrow (April 29th), meeting at 1pm in the Atrium of Market Square. 100% of the funds raised will be donated for Local Clean Water Protection.
In the last two years, thanks to Aveda Earth Month Fundraising, The Nature Trust of New Brunswick has been able to initiate the following projects:
- Conservation planning on Lower Saint John River
- Funds put into protecting 33 nature preserves
- Education presentations about the importance of land protection
- Also, a NEW iPhone tool – the Deep Map Eco iPhone application. Deep Map Eco allows people to access information, resources, and organizations about how to reduce our impact on the environment!
Throughout this month of April, Aveda’s Earth Month campaign has been seeking to raise $4.5 million for awareness, and protection, of clean water. Please drop into Element 5 Spa to register for tomorrow’s walk!
Pledge packs are still available at Element 5 Spa for $10. Hours today are 9-6.

April has gone by so quickly! Thank you to everyone who has helped Element 5 Spa raise funds for Clean Water Protection!

For these final days of Earth Month, donations can still be made:
- Donate $20 and receive and light the way candle. 100% of the funds raised through purchases of Aveda’s light the way candles help protect clean water. This fundraising effort has been on-going for the last five years. During which time, $4.6 million has been raised in Global Greengrants for water protection.

- Product minis are available for a $3 donation, or 4 for $10

- Support our Walk for Water, April 29th through uptown Saint John. In developing countries, women walk an average of 6 kilometers (4 miles) every day to access clean water. During the week of Earth Day (April 22nd), Aveda salons and spas around the world are taking part in a 6km walk to raise awareness, and funds for organizations working towards protecting clean water. Element 5 Spa’s walk on April 29th is donating 100% of the proceeds to our 2012 Earth Month Partners: The New Brunswick Nature Trust, the Nova Scotia Nature Trust, and the Island Nature Trust.

Earth Month at Element 5!
Earth Month came from Earth Week, which grew out of Earth Day. This now known day of global environmental awareness was first established during the ‘70’s, in the United States. In its beginnings, Earth Day rallied organizations together raising money, and awareness to protect natural resources. The first Earth day was so successful, as explained by Earth Day Canada, that as a result “the United States established the [first] Environmental Protection Agency, to research and monitor environmental issues and enforce environmental laws”. April is Earth Month, and Earth Day is April 22nd.
Once again, Element 5 is inviting everyone to join us in fundraising to protect clean water locally, and internationally! Last year, with the help of our community, Element 5 raised over $11,000. This money was donated to local organizations, and Global Green Grants that funded clean water projects. The spa’s successful efforts allowed Element 5 owner, Jenny Scott, to have had the incredible opportunity of travelling with Aveda to Tilwari, India. Tilwari is a village where Global Green Grants have funded the construction of new, clean water wells.
