Our Climate Change Commitment
CARAS and the JUNO Awards are committed to managing and mitigating the climate change impacts of operations and JUNO Week events.
We work with Strategin Solutions to understand and measure our carbon footprint and, with Bullfrog Power to choose green energy for our events and accommodations and carbon offsets for our travel-related emissions.
Green Energy
Since 2008, CARAS and the JUNOS have been proudly choosing Bullfrog Power’s green, renewable energy.
This means over time we have helped to put almost 7,000 MWh of renewable power onto the Canadian energy grid. That is the equivalent of approximately the amount of energy that it would take to power 33,000 Canadian homes for one week!
Carbon Offsets
We take responsibility for the greenhouse gas emissions generated by our travel through use of Gold Standard Certified carbon offsets provided by Bullfrog Power.
Our efforts to manage this part of our footprint started in 2010, and since then we have offset 10,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. That is the equivalent of taking approximately 107,000 personal vehicles off the road for one week!
What You Can Do
You too can help us to make JUNO Week events more sustainable:
- Bring and use a reusable mug and or water bottle
- Turn off lights and electronics when leaving your hotel room
- Participate in your hotel’s linen reuse program
- Take public transit to and from events
- Help us to manage waste and put your waste in the right place
If just 1,000 people choose to take these few simple steps, we can:
- Divert approximately 1,120 pounds of waste from landfill
- Eliminate 3 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions
- Avert the use of approximately 8,000 single use bottles
- Save 45,000 litres of water
- Conserve enough electricity to power the average Canadian household for 2 months
