Work

Our workplaces have an ecological footprint. Think of the resources consumed, the waste produced, cleaning products used, and the energy needed to run lights, heat and cool the work space, and operate equipment. Greening our workplaces has multiple benefits – reducing costs, increasing the comfort and efficiency of the work space, boosting the personal well-being of employees, reducing environmental impacts, and meeting the social responsibility goals of the business.

School

A great deal of our programming is aimed at schools and educators, providing them with the resources and support to more deeply integrate sustainability education into their classrooms. Interested in having our environmental educators present to your class? Want to start a walking school bus in your neighbourhood? Interested in composting at your school, or exploring waste reduction through hands-on activities with your students? We can help.

Did You Know

The amount of waste in Manitoba landfills that could have been composted is 40%. If everyone in Manitoba committed to composting, we could divert almost half of the waste that ends up in landfills!

Canadians toss over 3 million tonnes of plastic every year - 47% of which is single use plastic packaging for food, beverage and personal care items. Imagine if we all said no to single-use plastic packaging - we could cut Canada's plastic waste in half!

Transportation in Manitoba, including road, rail, marine, air and off-road vehicles, is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions associated with climate change. It accounts for 37% of GHG emissions in our province.
