We also know that your time is precious and that the immediate concerns of the day are being felt by us all. That’s why our pledge system doesn’t require you to use a carbon calculator or anything else that will take a lot of time. Instead, we’re showing you the per person BC or Canadian averages for CO2e emissions in the most crucial areas so you can make the best decisions on how you can be part of the solution. 

We’ve grouped the actions together into categories:

• Transportation

• Food

• Heat Pumps

• Clothing

• Finance

• Activism

The actions in the Pledge contain the most common and impactful actions most of us can take. Use the dropdown menu in the header to see more information including the CO2e math for each action and to view our information sources. 

Using average CO2e figures rather than a complex personal calculator decreases the accuracy on a per person basis, but it allows you to see a relative comparison of the actions you can take to be part of the solution. If you want to dive deeper into your personal CO2e emissions, we recommend the Lighter Footprint app.
