We should create a small program to promote awareness on how harmful leaving your lights on really is. A few nights of NO lights (lights OUT) and using other sources of illumination (candles, torches, etc). In hopes of informing/awaring people on turning off their lights when they do not need them and save energy

I would like to see grey water being enforced for our toilet systems in Toronto. We do not need to have drinkable water for our toilet systems. Maybe to start with new developments have containers to collect storm water therefore converting into grey water for our toilet systems. Also older existing buildings can retrofit their containers to hold storm water.

WE should find an alternative to plastic dispoable cups. Whenever I go to to a get-together or party I always see more than one person using numerous cups or having thrown multiple cups out. If we cant' stick to using one single cup and refilling it, why not just opt for an eco-friendly BPA free plastic option where we could save the waste?

I would like to see my school community cafeteria change to reusable tableware. Most people stay in the cafeteria to eat, so why use paper take out to add to the waste. For those leaving the cafeterias, biodegradable tableware can be used.

Old cell phones cause a lot of clutter and just end up as waste. If we recycled old cell phones they could be put to better use (and all the parts within them) towards other products or even newer cell phones. Recycled material is the way to go

I would like to see solar powered travel mugs that can plug in devices such as iPods or smartphones. I notice many people commute to work downtown outdoors and are always on their devices, why not have it connected to your mobile travel mug.

I would like a community rec centre in the NDG area of Montreal. I have grown up my entire life in this area and it could use a few recreational centres for the youth.

I'm a huge car aficionado and a well-maintained car can do a lot of good for the environment! Maintain your cars, make them last longer and enjoy them for a longer duration of time. It's as simple as that. If I got money to implement my idea I'd open a shop with low-rates to help people maintain their vehicles. If one could run a non-profit garage, one would. But it's not plausible.

I would like to see the tops of buildings painted white or the use of white stones for new developments. The white paint or stones reflect the sunrays which would help lower the heat that buildings receive from the sun.

I have tons of wire hangers just "hanging" (no pun intended) around my house. I would imagine it is the same for many people across Montreal. If we disposed of these wire hangers and used other alternatives I believe this would make a positive impact on our ecological state.

I would like to see my University campus buildings each designed with Green art from that specific faculty. This would improve my campus being more green as well as get students leaving an ecological footprint on the campus.

The STM (it's outdoor entrances) are usually filled with cig butts on the floor. The STM needs to incorporate more butt-outs to help this situation. This would greatly help the environment and make our city a cleaner place.
