What is the Living Planet Community?

The Living Planet Community is a community of Canadians who are taking action to live a healthier life - healthier for you, for the planet and for our children. When you join the Living Planet Community you are lending your voice to a collective, positive and unified call for everyone - governments, businesses and individuals - to do their part, especially to fight climate change.

WWF-Canada is helping connect Canadians, and show how our actions add up when we work together. On this website, you can commit to personal actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, join or create like-minded groups, and invite or challenge others to join you. Many of us are already taking action to reduce our environmental footprint, no matter how small. Join the Living Planet Community, spread the word, and make it count!

How it Works

The Living Planet Community can help you take action and connect with others who, like you, are looking for ways to do more:

1. Take action on climate change. On this site you can browse different actions and select ones you can commit to doing now (or very soon). You can also add actions you've taken over the past year. We then calculate how much Greenhouse Gas (CO2) you have reduced. The system adds up everyone's contributions into a Canada-wide total and tallies provincial totals as well.
2. Lend your voice and your actions to one of our campaigns. Periodically, we highlight specific actions and challenges, where we need your help to participate and spread the word. Examples include Earth Hour, and the Share It! Campaign aimed at reducing the use of plastic bags.
3. Voice your opinions and share your ideas so we can grow and learn as a community.

Join the Living Planet Community today. The more people involved the better, because it's about taking action - together - to make a world of difference.
