Living green can encompass a lot of things from eating organics, planting trees, using your recycling bins and reusing containers you would normally throw away. Where you spend your money and what your purchase with it are also a big part of ‘greening’ up your lifestyle.
In an effort to help support local businesses that want to help make Toronto an even greener place you should consider signing up for the Live Green Toronto Membership Card. This free card is part of an initiative called Live Green Toronto, a program from the City of Toronto (administered by the Toronto Environment Office) open to all people who live, work and shop in the City. All you have to do is sign up for the card and then show your card when you shop at participating green-committed businesses. The list of participating businesses is always growing and includes businesses that can be helpful for homeowners, including;
There are many other types of businesses including restaurants, coffee shops, yoga & fitness studios, and great little boutiques. It doesn’t take long to get the card (I got mine in 3 days) so take the 2 minutes and sign yourself up!
