Ten Great Ways to
Conserve |
|
Conservation:
it's
what
your
grandparents
did,
right?
Well
guess
what,
living
better
while
using
less
never
went out
of
style. Living
sustainably,
or being
green,
it's all
the same
thing.
Times
have
changed,
and so
has a
conserver
lifestyle.
Being a
conserver
is a
great
way to
save
money,
live
healthier,
and
enjoy
life.
It's not
that
hard.
In fact,
you are
already
a
conserver.
The goal
is to
become a
better
conserver.

Ontario's
Conservation
Strategy
Ever
wonder how we can save
our planet?
The
answer is easier
than you think -- but it
is still going to take a
lot of work!
Here's
five ways to be part of
a growing movement for a
sustainable future:
|
|
1.
Be a conserver
Odds are, you are already a
conserver. But we can
all become better. Set
your own
conserver challenge and
find resources to help you
live a little lighter on
this planet!
2.
Be a leader
Your company, organization,
or municipality can be a
conservation leader.
As an
individual, you can be a
conservation ambassador and help
make your neighbourhood a
conserver community.
3.
Be an innovator
Change happens through
innovation, and through creative
minds working to find new ways to help
people live better by living lighter.
4.
Organize Ourselves
From community
gardens and school clubs to
provincial and national
organizations, we need to
organize our movement.
