Take Action

The actions of individual Canadians account for about 28% of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions. If you're concerned about the quality of life, you will want to do what you can to reduce the impact of climate change which can affect your health, the economy and our environment. Every time you turn on a light, turn on the car, start up the computer, or do anything that uses energy you are responsible for producing greenhouse gases. But if you're part of the problem, you can also be part of the solution. At home, on the road and at work, there are simple things that all Canadians can do to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and save energy and money in the process!
