At Home
Green Living Series
REAP and Conscious Home have partnered on the Green Living Series to provide information and inspiration for Calgary households to make changes that reduce their environmental footprint.
The series consists of four 2-hour workshops designed to introduce you to Calgary’s green scene and provide resources for you to make changes in your home right away. Toolkits of useful, local and sustainable products can be purchased at each workshop to make immediate action easy.
Online action tracking through the REAP Action Tracker and follow up emails help you to stay motivated in between workshops and after the Series finishes. You will also create your own personal sustainability plan, which will help you stay on track with longer term goals.
