For the second year in a row Future Shop is proud to be supporting the David Suzuki Foundation and working towards a more sustainable future.
There’s a misconception that being green can be expensive and even difficult.
In many cases it’s the opposite – and we’re here to help. This site will help you save energy, shop smarter, recycle electronics, and even save you money while reducing your impact on the environment.
It’s easy being green.
The David Suzuki Foundation imagines a future with a cleaner environment, a future in which Canada is seen as a leader in innovative clean-energy solutions. We have joined with the Canadian Academy of Engineering and the Trottier Family Foundation to consider Canada's energy options as part of the Trottier Energy Futures Project. What can we do to limit our strain on this energy production system? How is our energy use leading to overinvestment in potentially dangerous energy sources? And how can we factor in energy sources with fewer environmental impacts? These are some of the questions that the Trottier Energy Futures Project will attempt to answer as it develops a sustainable energy future for Canada. We look forward to working with Canadians to determine what this system should look like and what we can do to get there.
It’s as simple as a switch.
Just by switching off your computer every night you’ll save $70 a year in energy costs. In 5 years, you’ll have saved enough in energy to be on your way to purchasing a new computer.
Pull the plug on old habits.
When you leave your cell phone charger or toaster plugged in, over two-thirds of energy you’re paying for is wasted. That’s right, even when electronic items are idle they’re still drawing a current – it’s called "phantom power".
See the results now and in the future.
Reducing energy in your home and office is one of the fastest ways to reduce your utilities bill and your personal impact on the environment.
