TOOLS
The following are a few tools selected to inspire and empower you, your organization or business to use a sustainability lens in decision-making, planning and operating.
Ecological Footprint Calculator
The average Canadian uses 8.8 global hectares of productive land, resources and ecosystem services to sustain his or her lifestyle. In reality, there are only 1.8 biologically productive global hectares available per person. Check out this great tool to calculate your personal ecological footprint. Contact us at iNSPiRED PRACTiCE for help in assessing your business or organization’s ecological footprint.
Renewable Energy System
If you’re interested in going off-grid and powering your home (perhaps also home-based business) through renewable energy, check out the worksheet and resources Canadian Tire has developed for conscious consumers.
Paper Calculator
Choosing post-consumer recycled and tree-free papers help preserve forests, cuts paper-manufacturing pollution, and reduces solid waste. It’s easy to see the positive impact using this tool from Environmental Defense.
