Green Cities Foundation invites members to map their impact and take part in the Plants Love You Clean Air Giveaway.

Plants Are The Lungs of our Communities.
It takes less than five minutes to understand the environmental value your plants are providing. Plants are one of the most accessible forms of climate technology we have; they are the lungs of our communities. When we make our green spaces visible in the data, communities are better equipped to protect them and invest in more.
Alan White, CNLA Vice President & Chair of the Climate Adaptation Committee.
Every entry supports GCF’s mission to determine the impact of our collective green spaces and to encourage more community greening projects across Canada to connect plants and people for a cleaner, healthier urban climate. Discover your impact today with the Clean Air Calculator and see just how much your plants love you back.
The campaign runs nationwide through 2025–2026 under a simple message: Every plant makes a difference.
