If 18,000 households in Guelph move to using low-flow toilets, the community can save 1 Gigalitre of water per year.
1 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is the amount of electricity needed to power 100 average households for 1 year.
If 67 homes in Guelph each save 15,000 kWhe (~1 GWhe) in natural gas and electricity per year, each household would reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 3.5 tonnes per year!
Be a part of the momentum for green impact!

“Homeowner and Local DeveloperTo my surprise, I was warmly received by excellent services, encouraging my family to help make our city a more energy-efficient place. We are now saving more money on our monthly expenses but more importantly saving water/energy for the environment to conserve. Thank you GIG for helping my family come one step closer to sustainable living!
“Trish Stevenson, Homeowner and Host of Inside Guelph on Rogers TVThe biggest eye opener for me was the measurement of water usage out of every faucet and shower head. I literally gasped at the difference in water flow when the GIG program changed them to low flow. Brilliant. I have recommended this program to my community enthusiastically!
“Danica Black, Volunteer and 3rd Yr. ASCI StudentI’ve learned a lot about what sustainable communities are and a lot about the City of Guelph. It’s incredible how much thought they’re putting into making the city a much more sustainable place.
“Valerie Senyk, HomeownerThank you for this, Elisa and GIG! I found it enlightening and helpful, and appreciate this service.
“Muneer Huda, VolunteerVolunteering with the GIG program over the last few years has shown me the very real potential GEL has for making a difference… it’s all about seeing how small changes can add and grow into something much greater than its sum.
