Controlling the temperature in Canadian homes
Rising energy costs and environmental concerns are clear incentives for households to adopt energy conservation measures. Turning down the thermostat temperature setting at night and using programmable thermostats are two ways a household's energy consumption may be reduced. Using results from the 2006 Households and the Environment Survey, this technical report examines some of the demographic factors associated with these behaviours.

Fork in the road: Canadian agriculture and food on the move
The question of where our food is grown or processed is coming under increased scrutiny, not just in Canada but in other countries, including our trading partners. Concerns underlying this increased focus include discussions of energy consumption required for food transport, environmental concerns, product safety, food security and food costs. This article, part of the publication Canadian Agriculture at a Glance, takes a look at the trade in food and shows how Canadians can find out what foods are being produced in their local area.

Redesigned Survey of Environmental Goods and Services
Carol Gudz, Environment Accounts and Statistics Division
The Survey of Environmental Goods and Services (formerly known as the Environment Industry Survey) is currently undergoing a redesign by Statistics Canada. This survey is conducted to obtain detailed revenue estimates derived from the sale of goods and services related to environmental protection. Environmental goods and services are recognized as being an important contributor to the Canadian economy. 

The survey covers sales of environmental goods related to waste water treatment, industrial air pollution control, waste management, remediation, and renewable energy production. Also included are sales of related environmental services in the areas of engineering, consulting and remediation. The data from the survey will be aggregated with information from other sources to produce official estimates of national and provincial/territorial economic activity related to environmental protection.

Mail-out is planned for the spring of 2009 with preliminary data anticipated by the end of 2009 and a report of results made available by the spring of 2010.
