Households
The heart of sustainability lives in our homes...the places where we raise our kids, restore ourselves, grow relationships and families, garden, create, dream, care for pets, play, cook, eat, sleep, shower and so much more.
Sustainability in the home is about both eco-efficiency – behaviours and equipment that make us more eco-efficient; and heart - our intentions, aspirations, emotions, thinking and behaviours that bring deep nourishment and care into our lives and our families.
There are many tools, resources, information sources and grants/incentives to help households become more eco-efficient and to reduce tour environmental and carbon impacts (footprints). The following sections will give you lots of help and inspiration to create a more sustainable home:
