Five things you should know about conservation...

  1. Conservation is how we can minimize our impact on the natural environment. Conservation means protecting nature, saving resources, and preventing pollution. And along the way, we can save some money, create a stronger, more resilient economy, and healthier places to live.
     

  2. We are all conservers, and we are all consumers.  The challenge is to become a better conserver.
     

  3. We're here to help.  Conservation is easier when you take advantage of conservation services and products. Our guides will give you conservation tips and ideas.  They will also give you links to organizations and companies across Ontario can help you become a better conserver.
     

  4. Conservation requires a commitment to improve.  Because everyone is starting from a different point, we offer three levels of solutions: easy steps, an investment in conservation, and a lifestyle commitment.  The choice is yours.
     

  5. We're building a movement.  For information on Ontario's conservation movement, see our sister site, www.weconserve.ca.  For resources for groups, see "Get Organized".

     

In Progress
We'll soon be adding new features to this site, including:

  •  a self-assessment tool so that you can determine where you want to improve, and which organizations can best help you.
     
  • a guide to conservation
     
  • a rewards program for conservers
