Carbon Cleanse 2023

Starting in 2023, our annual Carbon Cleanse challenge has moved to October! Carbon Cleanse is an annual competition that encourages sustainable lifestyle habits such as choosing reusable items over disposable ones and active transportation.

For the first time in Carbon Cleanse history, we had prizes to give away thanks to our amazing sponsors: Bruce Power, Downtown Kitchener BIA, Uptown Waterloo and Gifted.

With the time change, we saw more participation and increased engagement! It was heartwarming to see many employees have fun with the tasks, involving their loved ones in some of the challenges and interacting with us on social media.
