Why Go Green in the Kootenays
There are many reasons to choose sustainable lifestyle options. The good news is that there is a wealth of options available here in the Columbia Basin. Our hope is that this directory of eco-friendly business, initiatives, and services will help all of us make choices that will lead to a more sustainable basin.
Reasons to look locally and live lightly:
- Reduce the impact of your actions on the earth; living lightly benefits not only our generation, but also those to come.
- Prepare for a future that is much different than today. This will make our communities resilient, healthy and sustainable.
- Support a vibrant, local economy.
- Encourage creativity and innovation.
- Demonstrate to the province, nation and world that local sustainability is possible, and that our Basin can lead the way.
- Learn about how easy it is to make small changes.
- Keep the money local; stimulate new ideas by supporting what we have.
- Improve the state of our ecosystems, water and air.
- Reduce reliance on non-renewable resources.
- Provide the opportunity for future generations to enjoy the same Basin as we do.
