Is your Christmas tree looking a little bare? Instead of buying new plastic decorations that were most likely shipped from overseas, consider reusing decorations and ornaments from previous years! If you really do need some new ones you could try making your own or buying handmade decorations from local artists! Maybe someone can make us a tree topper that looks like Timothy...⠀

Whether it is an artificial pre-lit tree or farmed fir or pine, Christmas trees are an iconic symbol of the season. BUT, which type is better for the environment? Artificial trees come with a lot of benefits; they’re clean, easy to put up and can be reused year after year. In contrast, real trees have to be cut down annually, shed their needles and are disposed of at the end of the season. So which is the greener option? It’s the real tree! Most artificial trees are made of PVC and steel, are shipped across seas from China and will eventually end up in a landfill. Real Christmas trees are farm grown, often on landscapes unsuitable for other crops, for around 15 years providing us with oxygen and habitats for wildlife. They are replaced as they are cut down and at the end of the season real trees can be recycled and many are used for mulch and barriers to erosion. ⠀

It’s time to start putting up the Christmas decorations and Timothy is using LED Christmas lights in the Turtle Guardians Headquarters. They use over 75% less energy than incandescent lighting and last 25x longer! It’s just one easy way to make your holidays as eco-friendly as possible! ⠀

Pop quiz! What species of Ontario turtle is this? I’ll give you a hint, they release a strong musky odour when threatened. It’s an eastern musk turtle, also known as a stinkpot! These are one of the smallest turtle species in Ontario and can be difficult to spot. They are generally nocturnal and prefer to spend their days basking under floating vegetation rather than basking in the open. ⠀

Tonight is the championship game of the Canadian Football League, the Grey Cup! The Hamilton Tiger Cats will be playing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Calgary, Alberta. In an all Canadian league it’s difficult for us to pick favourites, but we do know that Hamilton is home to a lot of turtles... Vote to rename the Hamilton Tiger Cats to Hamilton Snapping Turtles?

Humans are endotherms. We generate our own body heat and when it’s cold we bundle up in clothing to trap the heat in. Turtles are ectotherms. They rely on an external source of heat to stay warm and their body temperature changes to match their environment. So while Betty looks amazing in her housecoat, we know it’s not practical, it’s strictly for style. ⠀

In the Southern Hemisphere November is similar to what May is to us in the Northern Hemisphere. That means that for many species of turtles in countries such as; Australia, South Africa, and Brazil, nesting season is in full swing! ⠀
