Frequently Asked Questions

  • The GreenLiving database measures Canadians’ attitudes and behaviours regarding household-related environmental issues. Created from a sample of respondents from Statistics Canada’s Canadian Community Health Survey, GreenLiving focuses on household consumption and conservation of energy and water, as well as composting, pesticide use, household hazardous waste disposal and the use of gas-powered recreation equipment. Available at the postal code (FSALDU) and dissemination area levels, GreenLiving is used by manufacturers and utility companies to inform product development, locate key infrastructure projects and design energy conservation programs. See variable lists

  • Any organization interested in better understanding Canadians’ attitudes towards household-related environmental issues can benefit from the GreenLiving data. Energy providers can inform their conservation programs and marketing campaigns by targeting high energy consumption neighbourhoods and areas more likely to be receptive to energy reduction programs. You can determine which geographic areas are most likely to compost. You can even discover where to locate e-waste centers. By using PRIZM and GreenLiving data to profile target groups, advertising agencies can design more effective advertising campaigns and media plans. Contact us to discuss your opportunities
