Guelph GIG

If 18,000 households in Guelph move to using low-flow toilets, the community can save 1 Gigalitre of water per year.

1 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is the amount of electricity needed to power 100 average households for 1 year.

If 67 homes in Guelph each save 15,000 kWhe (~1 GWhe) in natural gas and electricity per year, each household would reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 3.5 tonnes per year!

Thank you to everyone who participated in Earth Hour and the Guelph Lights Out Relay. In Guelph, reduction in electricity use that we experienced during Earth Hour was equivalent to 1,000 homes being taken off the grid!We look forward to having you join us next year to achieve an even greater reduction.
