In 2010, Project Neutral was incubated by Civic Action’s Emerging Leaders Network. We launched in Toronto’s Riverdale and Junction neighbourhoods, with a strong focus on neighbourhood action and distributed leadership. We worked closely with community leaders, providing Torontonians with tools to establish a greenhouse gas baseline, see how they compare to their neighbours, and explore actions that reduce energy use and carbon emissions.
Those actions paid off: by 2014 we had engaged over 1,000 Toronto residents, and 80% of their households had reduced their GHG emissions by 5 tonnes — that’s like taking 1,000 cars off the road for a whole year!
