Be a Climate-Wise Consumer

We learned from Michael Zelniker and his documentary "The Issue With Tissue--a boreal love story" in August 2023 how our paper products are leading to the destruction of the boreal forest, an import carbon sink. 

This scorecard tells you which brands of toilet paper, paper towels, and facial tissue cause the most/least damage to forests. Choose products that score an 'A' to avoid contributing to deforestation!

We learned from Rebecca Rothman of The Switch Is On in April 2022 how switching your gas appliances to electric ones can improve home air quality, improve energy efficiency, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. 

​

Next time you need to replace an appliance, choose electric! Head to The Switch Is On for info on heat pumps & induction stoves, rebates in your area, contractors with installation and conversion experience, and more.
