ConserveCanada is a Canadian not-for-profit organization that provides conservation workshops to grade 5 students. It aims to educate children on conservation and the environment in order to influence future decision-makers. The workshops teach students about Canada's current overreliance on non-renewable energy, the importance of conservation in meeting climate targets, and the role of alternative energies. The organization is run by a board of directors and partners with industry leaders who support its conservation mission.

1. A Canadian not-for-profit organization dedicated to spreading the
conservation message and helping Canada meet future energy needs.
● Canada currently uses 70% of its total energy use from non-
renewable resources. This use is not sustainable or environmentally
responsible. ConserveCanada
educates, engages,
● Conservation is the critical component that will allow us to reach this encourages and

the environment.
Make conservation changes today and provide the
information to make responsible energy decisions tomorrow.

2. The Problem
Canada currently uses 70% of its total energy use from non-renewable resources. This use is not
sustainable or environmentally responsible.
According to Canada’s Action Plan on Climate Change, “The Government of Canada is committed to reducing
Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent from 2005 levels by 2020” (Government of Canada,
2012).
● This goal is achievable.
● In order to meet this target Canadians need to aggressively implement change now and create programs for
tomorrow.
● We need to conserve our conventional energy resources while we continue to adopt and advance new
ideas, alternative and renewable resources such as wind energy, solar energy, biomass, electric vehicles
and other hybrid systems.
Conservation is the critical component that will allow us to reach this goal!

3. The Solution
To educate, engage, encourage and challenge children in the areas of conservation and
the environment.
● ConserveCanada provides a free, fun and interactive energy conservation workshop to
Canadian grade 5 science students. The ConserveCanada Workshop program is an
Innovative, Unique and Measurable approach to educate Canada’s future decision makers
to “Use and Manage Canada responsibly.
Conservation immediately decreases our current greenhouse gas emissions.
Conservation immediately decreases our demand for Canada’s fossil fuel resources.
The introduction and advancement of new ideas, alternative and renewable energies
allow us to offset fossil fuel electricity generation, further decreasing our emissions and
further conserving our fossil fuel resources.
Conservation allows us to reduce cost increases by reducing the need for new energy
generation.
We need to conserve our existing resources while we implement change!

4. THE WORKSHOP PROGRAM
ConserveCanada’s goal is to educate, engage, encourage and challenge children in the areas of conservation and the
environment. Long-term, consistent messaging to a specific elementary school age group (grade 5 science students) will instill
important understanding of our current and future energy needs. Guiding our children today will help our future decision makers of
tomorrow make the right decisions to “Use and Manage Canada Responsibly”. This long-term plan will stimulate immediate
conservation change and establish a program that will effectively change the future conservation landscape and help Canada
achieve its aggressive energy goals.
ConserveCanada team members are invited into Canadian elementary classrooms as the “Teachers Aid”, providing a fun and
interactive learning experience. Team members focus on the importance of conservation, understanding the impacts caused by
our current energy use, and the introduction of new ideas, alternative and renewable energies. No single alternative or renewable
energy technology is promoted. Instead, all alternative and renewable energy technologies are highlighted as part of our future
energy mix and solution. Students are shown realistic ways to conserve and are encouraged to challenge others to do the same.
ConserveCanada team members are recent engineering or teaching graduates with a passion for making a difference.
The ConserveCanada Workshop Program is innovative in our direct market approach, targeted audience (grade 5 students), and
in its ability to utilize an existing infrastructure (Canadian educational system). Teachers are supportive of the program approach
and school boards encourage “Community Partners” as mentors. Teachers appreciate having the availability of additional
resources and support without the pressures of additional cost.
