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.  Here's our top ten actions:

Conservation Leaders

The Beer Store
We've always known The Beer Store is green:

  • they've been reusing and recycling since 1927

  • they are improving energy efficiency across all their 440 stores

  • they support the Conservation Council and We Conserve

Look for the new We Conserve poster at your local Beer Store.

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.  Here's how we help:
