Whether you are a household or a municipality, EcoAction Teams provides three levels of action to reduce your energy and water use, waste production, and greenhouse gas emissions. Through active participation and online results tracking, participants can easily and significantly reduce their environmental impact.

EcoAction Teams is a community-based program of Earth Day Canada.

Then and Now

Established in 2003 as a pilot program, the EcoAction Teams program has involved more than 1,400 participants in over 25 communities in Ontario. In 2007, ecoactionteams.ca and the online calculator were upgraded to account for differences in how energy, waste and water are produced and used in each province and territory across Canada.

Now in Phase 1 of a cross-country roll-out, Earth Day Canada is partnering with individual municipalities and other partners to deliver environmental strategies and savings via the EcoAction Teams program. To learn more about the municipal outreach strategy, click here.

Vision

EcoAction Teams actively addresses the challenges to Canada’s environment by partnering with communities, organizations and the public across the country.

EcoAction Teams provides the resources to motivate sustainable behaviour change in Canadians, creates a conservation mindset in all communities, and motivates all Canadians to take environmental action in their own homes.
