Make the Connection

As Canadians we share a collective interest to protect and strengthen the well-being of the environment and the communities we call home. Yet, many of us do not consciously make the connection between our purchases of goods and services and the well-being of our planet.

At My Sustainable Canada, we recognize that there are different approaches to moving the bar along the continuum of sustainable change. What has yet to be fully explored, demonstrated or embraced are the significant leaps in behaviour change that nourish a truly sustainable community and planet.
