Seventh Generation Community Projects

Sustainable Living is a way of life that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Sustainability is using and choosing our resources wisely so that these are not depleted or permanently damaged.

Resources include the environment, health, time, energy, communities and work/income. Sustainability is also about interconnections and about creating/maintaining abundance and diversity within ourselves, within our environment and with each other.

Walking Our Talk

We are committed to lightening the impact on the environment at our events:

We serve organic food and beverages.

We use reusable dishes or borrow them rather than using disposable ones.

Recycling and compost bins are placed in convenient locations.

We use 100% post-consumer
recycled paper.

We spread the word more and more via
e-mail instead of paper, so we only have three information mail-outs per year.

We organize carpooling on our tours, in order to ease our impact on the environment.





	Established in 1999, Seventh Generation Community Projects is a non-profit organization that promotes sustainable living practices in the greater Ottawa area to help preserve our planet and create health and well-being for people and communities. We do this through workshops, seminars, tours, offering resources to the community, networking and partnering with other like-minded organizations, supporting and promoting green businesses. In 2007, Seventh Generation Community Projects merged with Tucker House Renewal Centre (www.tuckerhouse.ca) in order to order to strengthen and widen its outreach and positive impact in the community. Our Vision That Seventh Generation Community Projects lead the National Capital Region as a model for integrated sustainable living. Our Mission To serve as an example, and inspire and empower members of the community. Educate through lectures, working models and hands-on experience. Act as a knowledge centre, for individuals and organizations, to integrate all aspects of sustainable living. Motivate community members to connect lifestyles to earth-wise choices for a healthy and prosperous future. Nurture information-sharing through partnerships with other organizations.	*Sustainable Living* is a way of life that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
