Are you ready to change your community?
Every community and city have the potential to be sustainable. Sustainability goes beyond just the environment – sustainability includes three main pillars: the economy, the environment, and society! In Canada, we have a lot of different community types: we have a mix of urban cities, suburban towns, and rural farmlands. Within each of these different communities, there are lots of ways to become more sustainable. How is your community sustainable?
