What's in it for you?

Family
  • Save money
  • Help fight climate change
  • Improve our air quality
  • Protect our environment

Participating in the One-Tonne Challenge will pay off. Reducing your home energy use by 20% can help lower your heating and electricity bills by the same amount.

And there's more. Many of the things we do that create GHGs also contribute to air pollution and smog. We know that smog-causing pollutants, ground-level ozone and particulate matter or soot are increasing our health care costs, affecting productivity and contributing to crop damage. Your efforts to reduce emissions will give us cleaner air and healthier communities.

You're not alone

Just as you're being asked to do your part, businesses, industry, governments and communities are being called upon to do theirs too.

Are you ready?

Take the One-Tonne Challenge! Sharpen your pencil and circle the new actions you want to take. Then, go to the tally sheet at the end of this guide to check your score!
