And How We Can Reduce Our Impacts
We all depend on and affect our environment .
Nearly all of the choices we make - whether at home, at play or at work - can affect the natural systems that we and other living beings rely on for survival. The Ministry of Environment plays a critical role in achieving provincial environmental goals but all British Columbians have a role in protecting and preserving our environment.
What can I do?
The good news is that all of us can reduce our impact in some way. Even a small lifestyle change can benefit the health of local ecosystems now and improve the well being of our families and communities into the future.
Many thousands of B.C. residents are actively engaged in stewardship activities – by working together there is potential for significant change with far-reaching implications for global health.
