what are the creative green tools?

The Creative Green Tools Canada ("CG Tools") powered by Julie's Bicycle CG Tools are a free set of carbon calculation and reporting tools that allow organizations in the arts and culture sector to record, measure and understand the impacts of their venues, offices, tours, productions, festivals and more!

Created in 2009 by Julie’s Bicycle, the CG Tools were designed to be simple, accessible, and to inspire change in the arts and culture sector. Continuously updated based on sector feedback, they play a central role in Arts Council England’s environmental sustainability efforts and are now used by over 5,000 organizations in 50 countries.

The CG Tools help users track energy, water, waste, travel, and materials, informing environmental strategies and priorities across sub-sectors like theatre, museums, galleries, music, and more.
