Garbage disposal: Just say no
Instead of sending food waste down the drain so it can get shredded up by the garbage disposal, consider composting instead. Garbage disposals use up lots of water and energy in the process of chewing up food into little bits and flushing it away. Plus, disposing of food this way diverts it to water waste management facilities and then out into the open ocean, where it disrupts the ecosystem.

Cascadia Ecohomes Limited is a Canadian-owned and operated company dedicated to sustainable living solutions. From affordable, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems to environmentally-friendly cleaning products, we aim to revolutionize the way Canadian homes and businesses are built and maintained. We know that both cost and environmental impact are important concerns when people make decisions about the type of homes they want to live in and the workplaces they are content to occupy. Our products are suited for houses, town homes, apartments, shops, restaurants and any other type of commercial building. Cascadia Ecohomes aims to provide real solutions for a healthy, comfortable, green lifestyle.
We want to help people live not only a ‘zero-emission’ lifestyle but to take the further step towards a ‘minus-emission’ lifestyle. This means shifting from a wasteful society that consumes far more than it gives back to one that actually returns more to the earth than it takes and even begins to repair the damage already done.
It is the policy of our company to:
- educate and raise awareness of environmentally-friendly lifestyles
- source everything we sell from suppliers with excellent environmental and labour standards
- use products that not only have zero-impact on the earth, but actually work to heal the planet
