About the EcoBusiness program

The program is an initiative designed to address the water, energy, travel usage and waste generated in operating a business by developing new social norms in the community that lead to wide spread behaviour change toward a more sustainable community.

The program provides assessors who go into the business and conduct an assessment, then provide the participant with recommendations on how to decrease their energy use in the home, thus saving money and the environment.
