Sustainability

Of CHF BC...

CHF BC is Canada's first carbon neutral federation of housing co-ops.

In November of 2008, CHF BC signed an agreement to become a Climate Friendly partner with Offsetters.  CHF BC has audited its carbon footprint, implemented a carbon reduction plan, and  purchased offsets.

At CHF BC's 2007 annual general meeting, members passed a resolution to make CHF BC operations more environmentally friendly.

CHF BC implemented a sustainability plan covering several areas:

• energy use
• paper
• waste and toxic chemicals
• greenhouse gasses
  

Of housing co-ops...

CHF BC is actively working with partners such as City Green Solutions , eaga Canada and Vancity to help housing co-ops become more sustainble.

CHF BC has organized and hosted several sustainability workshops at its education conferences. 

For co-ops interested in sharing ideas there is a sustainability discussion on CHF BC's BC Talk online member bulletin board.
