ONE-TONNE CHALLENGE

 

I'm taking the One-Tonne Challenge. Are you?The One-Tonne Challenge asks you to reduce your annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by one tonne. How? Use less energy. Conserve water and resources. Reduce waste.

Fewer emissions means protecting our climate and having cleaner air and healthier communities for all Canadians. And saving energy puts more money in your pocket

One-Tonne Challenge

Here's the Challenge: reduce your annual greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by one tonne. The average Canadian produces five tonnes of GHGs each year so one tonne is a reduction of about 20 per cent.

Getting started is easier than you think. It's as simple as making a personal commitment to use energy and resources more efficiently in your daily life to reduce your emissions.

One tonne sounds like a lot, but think of this: If you drive a car, about half of your total GHGs likely come from driving. Driving less or using other forms of transportation, such as car pooling, public transit or walking, will significantly reduce your fuel consumption and emissions. And it'll save you money, too.

Home energy is another big source of your GHGs. Making smart decisions about heating, cooling and appliances will add to your energy savings.

Le Défi d'une tonne

Je relève le Défi d'une tonne. Et vous?
Le Défi d'une tonne vous demande de réduire vos émissions annuelles de gaz à effet de serre d'une tonne. Comment? En consommant moins d'énergie. En conservant l'eau et les ressources. En réduisant les ordures ménagères.

Moins d'émissions signifie protéger notre climat et obtenir un air plus propre ainsi que des communautés plus saines pour tous les Canadiens. Économiser l'énergie permet d'économiser plus d'argent. Agissons contre les changements climatiques aujourd'hui!
