Becoming a Carbon Neutral Community

Pocket Change is a project of the Pocket Community Association representing a neighbourhood of approximately 1,100 homes, housing 3,500 individuals in the Toronto, Danforth area. The community aims to retrofit their own homes to live more sustainably and without reliance on fossil fuels. Their goal is to have the Pocket be a “net zero” or carbon neutral community. The association has convened their first cohort of ChangeMakers — homeowners who are now launched on the retrofit road, and are being encouraged by the City to pilot a community-based advisory service to help retrofit 421,000 homes across Toronto.
