The average Albertan uses 350 litres of water every day.

Question: How many litres of water per year can a leak of a drop per second waste? A. 50,000 L/year B. 10,000 L/year C. 1,000 L/year

Household heating consumes the most energy in Canadian homes. An average home releases 635 kg of carbon dioxide per year into our atmosphere.

The average Albertan disposes 289 kg of residential waste every year
