By Asha Kerr-Wilson, Karina Schut |
Identifying specific Canadian GHG emission sources and what they contribute to Canada’s GHG footprint helps us understand the need for climate action across sectors. And knowing which of your daily choices produce GHG emissions is the first step in making climate-friendly habit changes (see What is a tonne of greenhouse gas emissions?).

Here are some suggestions for how you can contribute to the reduction of Canada’s GHG footprint in nine key emitting areas.
