The Living Planet City is an inspiring, fun and interactive microsite that illustrates how sustainable, climate friendly cities can be built without relying on dirty oil or coal.
It is a virtual city that highlights how Canadian municipalities are already leading the way by adopting green technologies to help transform the way we live. In these communities, citizens are gaining a whole new understanding of energy, and actively engaging in the fight against climate change. They are lowering greenhouse gas emissions and securing a local, renewable energy supply, all while reducing their energy bills and creating good, green jobs.
The Living Planet City allows users to get a sense of how we can get a whole lot smarter about where we get our energy from and how we put it to work in an urban environment. Then Take Action to make this a reality in your community.
WWF-Canada acknowledges Greenpeace-UK and the Trillium Foundation for their contributions to the Living Planet City.
The Living Planet city is a community where heat and electricity are produced and consumed locally from low-impact, renewable sources of energy, maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste and pollution.
By switching to renewable energy sources, communities across Canada can dramatically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Households and businesses will begin to use energy differently, more efficiently, and systems will be more responsive to actual energy needs – some will even generate their own energy on-site.
