Project Neutral helps people understand how their daily choices impact climate change, and when people realize that they can create immediate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by taking action in the areas that matter the most, they become an inspiration for others to do the same.

Small changes people can make at home have ripple effects that add up to big impacts for the planet. Since 2010, more than 2,500 households have used Project Neutral's tools to measure their carbon impact, find out how they compare to their neighbours, and explore climate actions. 

Project Neutral began by working closely with community leaders to provide Toronto residents with the tools they needed to establish a greenhouse gas baseline and explore actions that reduce energy use and carbon emissions. Those actions paid off: by 2014 we had engaged over 1,000 Toronto residents, and 80% of their households had reduced their GHG emissions by 5 tonnes — that's like taking 1,000 cars off the road for a whole year!

In June 2018, Project Neutral soft-launched a simpler, easier-to-use carbon calculator to hundreds of households across the province. Since then, the number of Ontarians who’ve measured their climate impact has quadrupled! In October 2018, we launched a new website featuring more local climate action incentives, more actions people can take to reduce their carbon impact and what actions will help the most.

But this is only the beginning. The most important work, engaging more households to take meaningful action on climate change, still lies ahead! When you share Project Neutral with your followers and supporters while encouraging them to measure their impact, you help build a constituency for public policy that supports climate action and a healthy planet for generations to come.
