HERE’S MY TIP FOR HOME!
When I mow the lawn, I don’t pick up the cut grass. This way, I’m nourishing the earth rather than a garbage bag.
Yvon and Lorraine
We set a big barrel under the downspout to collect rainwater. We use it to water the garden during dry spells.
Albert
I never buy fruits and vegetables in polystyrene foam packaging. I now enjoy choosing them one at a time.
Élise Vaillancourt
I take boxes apart and flatten them out before putting them in the recycling bin. They take up less space in the truck and therefore reduce the number of trips.
Yanick, Montréal
Whenever possible, I buy local products because they don’t need to travel long distances.
Marie, Montréal
I put a plastic bottle filled with water in my toilet tank. We save 500 ml of potable water each time we flush the toilet. That’s at least 3650 litres a year!
