Living lightly on this earth has never been easier.

Welcome.  Whether you are here because you are looking for ways to save our planet, or just looking for ways to green your life, you've come to a great place to start.  If you are looking to conserve, we can help. 
 

Your pledge: to live a little more lightly on this earth.

We are all both consumers and conservers.

We are all different: richer or poorer; urban, suburban or rural; dedicated, or just starting out.   Your goal should be to become a better conserver, one step at a time. Not perfect, just better.  Choose the actions that will help you live lighter and improve your quality of life.  Because after all, a conserver lifestyle should be a better way of living.

  1. Set your personal goals.
    Use our chart to assess your strengths and where you want to improve.  Set your own personal or family goal, such as "we will eat more local food", "we will bike to school and work", or "we will reduce our electricity bill by 10%". 
     

  2. Get help.
    Take advantage of local environment programs, green businesses and government incentives.

    • in Ontario, see the Ontario Conserves section for links to lead organizations and programs

    • check the municipal section to see if your municipality is organized to help promote conservation

    • elsewhere in Canada, see our Other Areas section to see if there is a similar initiative to We Conserve.
       

  3. Get involved
    Join in, or support local environmental projects.  Help build the conservation movement in your community and across Canada.

 

Our commitment: to make conservation easy

From community groups to green businesses, we’re here to help you meet your personal goals.

You are not alone!  Look for community groups, municipal programs and local businesses that offer the products and services to help you achieve your goals.
