Environmental Pledge
Take Vaughan's Environmental Pledge
What makes a city more sustainable? You do! Whether it's tending to a community garden, utilizing home energy rebate programs, initiating green business practices or biking to work, making simple changes to your everyday routine can go a long way. What you do today will shape Vaughan for future generations - so how are you contributing?
During Earth Month members of the community pledged one action or daily habit that they could commit to in 2023 to lead a lifestyle that’s kinder to the environment. The following six areas were provided as inspiration:
- repair
- reuse
- refuse
- re-gift
- reduce
- recycle
Pledges included commitments to unplug electronics when not in use, turning off lights when leaving a room, replacing plastic bags with reusable shopping bags and food containers, getting creative with recipes to eliminate food waste, signing up for ebilling, saving boiled water that had been used for cooking to water plants, and many more!
