Welcome to the website that supports an entire movement.
Here, you'll find tools and links to help you become a better conserver.  You'll also see how we are helping Ontario become a world leader in the voluntary transition to a conserver society and a conserver economy.

For individuals: Start with the Conserver Challenge, set personal goals, and find help!

For groups, companies, and municipalities: join the movement! Make your green initiatives part of a united movement.

  



Ontario is the first jurisdiction to develop an integrated voluntary transition strategy to a greener, conserver society.  For details on the model, visit www.weconserve.ca

 If you believe that conservation should be Ontario's top priority for solving environmental and energy woes...
  if you feel we deserve better conservation services and incentives, and...
  if you're tired of waiting for those policy-makers to solve climate change and other problems...

...then it's time you became an Ontario Friend of Conservation.

We'll build local capacity and actually help connect people with the products and services they need to become better conservers.

Great Campaigns
(see also GreenALERTS)		  

Movement-based campaigns involve all types of organizations, businesses and municipalities in achieving measurable results.

The Doors Closed campaign was a classic example, with over 28 groups and municipalities helping to promote the simple act of closing the door when running air conditioning.

Our current effort is to support a series of community conservation networks across Ontario -- the foundation for bigger and better movement-based campaigns.
Featured Sites   Jane's Walk is a little idea that has grown into a cross Canada program to get people thinking about their communities -- all through community walks led by local leaders.

 

Who wouldn't want to live in a better community? Smart Growth seeks to replace urban sprawl with urban villages -- vibrant, walkable communities.
