Did you know that the average Canadian produces about 5 tonnes of greenhouse gases every year? The burning of fossil fuels to power our cars, heat our homes, and run our appliances creates greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants that contribute to climate change and poor air quality.
Make a difference! Take on the Government of Canada's One Tonne Challenge to reduce your emissions of greenhouse gases by one tonne (or about 20%), while at the same time lowering emissions of smog-causing air pollutants. Encourage others in your community to take the challenge and help to improve air quality in your community.
The One Tonne Challenge website includes a calculator to help you determine your current level of greenhouse gas emissions, and an incentives and rebates database to help you take advantage grants, rebates, discounts and other incentives that are available. You can consult the One Tonne Challenge Guide for ideas on how to meet your goal and to encourage others to take action at your workplace and in your community.
