Think about it.
We can continue to squander these resources and foul our ecosystems, or we can use this period of unprecedented luxury to invest in a sustainable future. This is our strategy for a voluntary transition to a conserver society...
|
In a Nutshell… The Council: We are the Conservation Council of Ontario, a sixty year old association of organizations, businesses, municipalities and individuals working to promote conservation in Ontario. Our Mission: Our mission is to be a catalyst for the voluntary transition to a conserver society in Ontario.Our Strategy: We Conserve is our strategy in support of our mission: a simple approach to build a culture of conservation in Ontario. It is designed to promote positive change, distributed leadership, and the ability to find simple solutions within a complex movement.Our Objective: Our overall objective is to help people live better by living lightly. We believe the future of our planet rests on our own ability to transform ourselves into a conserver society. To affect that change, we need a united conservation movement that will help make conservation easy, affordable, and desirable.
Mapping the Movement: For each of these priority actions, we identify lead organizations, coordinating networks and other allies who can develop support programs and collaborative campaigns to achieve our common goals.
Evaluating our progress: To assess our progress, we focus on macro level statistics, including state of the environment reporting and social values tracking.------- In a world where the focus of environmental change is on regulation, ours is a unique model. We are a council, whose members are committed to leading, and our strategy recognizes that voluntary leadership by consumers and constituents alike is the only way to achieve long-lasting change in our economy and social policy. Our approach does not replace a regulatory model, it builds a much stronger foundation for regulatory and fiscal actions that support a strong culture of conservation. Next Steps: As an organization, the Conservation Council of Ontario is committed to supporting a voluntary transition strategy for Ontario. Our members are working to promote conservation within their membership and/or areas of expertise. For those in Ontario, we invite you to join in, and adapt and adopt the strategy to support your work as a conservation leader. For those outside Ontario, we offer our strategy and resources as a model you can adapt and adopt in your own jurisdiction.
