    Articles and reports: 16-508-X2019003
    Description: Environmental management practices are protocols that businesses adopt to reduce their impact on the environment. This fact sheet features the most common environmental management practices per industry group, per size of establishment and per employment share. It also highlights four of the most frequently used environmental practices (environmental management system, energy audit (past 3 years), energy management or monitoring system and greenhouse gas emissions inventory).

  • 3. Households and the Environment
    Journals and periodicals: 11-526-X
    Description:

    Statistics Canada periodically conducts the Household and the Environment Survey to measure household actions that have, or are perceived to have, positive or negative impacts on the environment. The survey provides baseline information to use in measuring progress towards sound environmental practices at the household level. The subjects examined include consumption and conservation of energy, consumption and conservation of water, indoor environment, use of pesticides and fertilizers, outdoor air quality and consumer decisions.

  • 4. Greenhouse gas emissions: a focus on Canadian households Archived
    Articles and reports: 16-002-X200800410749
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Households contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada both directly and indirectly. Direct emissions occur through the use of motor fuel and residential fuel, while indirect emissions result from the production of goods and services purchased by households. This article examines households' direct and indirect GHG emissions from 1990 to 2004.

  • 6. Controlling the Temperature in Canadian Homes Archived
    Articles and reports: 16-001-M2008006
    Description:

    Rising energy costs and environmental concerns are clear incentives for households to adopt energy conservation measures. Turning down the thermostat temperature setting at night and using programmable thermostats are two ways a household's energy consumption may be reduced. Using results from the 2006 Households and the Environment Survey, the author explores some of the demographic factors associated with these behaviours.

  • 7. Climate change in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 16-201-X200700010542
    Geography: Canada
    Description: The article "Climate Change in Canada" begins with an explanation of the science necessary to explore this topic. It continues to examine greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, investigating the driving forces behind those emissions and how those forces may have changed over time. It illustrates some of the impacts of climate change on our land, wildlife and peoples. The article concludes with a presentation of the activities that Canadians, industry and governments are undertaking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the changing climate, and also profiles some promising areas for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the future.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Using the Survey of Household Facilities and Equipment and the Survey of Household Spending, this article shows that, since the 1940s, Canadians have rapidly adopted new energy sources for household heating. It then shows how these important changes have affected greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the residential sector in recent decades.
