Since 1984, Environmental Defence has been inspiring change by connecting people with environmental issues that affect their daily lives in their homes, workplaces and neighbourhoods.
Mission: We are Canada's most effective environmental action organization. We challenge, and inspire change in government, business and people to ensure a greener, healthier and prosperous life for all.
Plastic puts out multiple times higher energy than coal or wood. When scrubbed properly this would be an excellent source of energy to produce electricity. Thanks for the vague disinformation.
So glad that we are paying $2.25 million to the Beer Store to have the convenience of beer in corner stores 2 years early.. Some predict that it will result in an 8% increase in alcohol-related emergency room visits, but at least our homeless encampment will get the convenience it deserves!
I think it’s already too late for that. I think we know that Doug Ford will not reverse on his decision on return for return for deposit on non-alcoholic beverages
Direct air carbon capture powered by renewable energy is totally a powerful tool in the fight against climate change though. This differs from the carbon capture talked about in this video which is just trying to capture the carbon being emitted from the stacks of fossil plants as it comes out.
How about changing building code to require all new homes and building have solar panels and cold climate heat pumps and heat pump/electric water heaters?! Simple solution. I love mine
Are diamonds not a forever chemical ? Also how is a chemical that is not chemically reactive ( such as diamonds, ceramics, sand, etc ) toxic for me ? You gloss over it as if it's a huge harm, when alcohol, coffee etc.. are also linked to immune, thyroid and cancers, yet LCBO and Starbucks are fine. Is soya sauce also a toxic chemical as it's harmful as well, or beer, or wine... this is very strange presentation to give to layperson. PFAS are used in chemically resistive pipes, pumps etc... Full of half truths full of fear mongering tactics. You're weaponizing the population on issues that are not key but make you the environmental group look good and drive $$$ to your organization. I sincerely hope the youth of today can see through this. To the youth, live your lives, the world is not toxic as these 2 claim, and ask yourselves what's in it for them ( a job, money, an easy career).
Hydrogen is acknowledged by the DOE as an “Earthshot” aka a moonshot. An expensive taxpayer/deficit funded R&D project that benefits the fossil fuel industry and a handful of fossil fuel producing states. Same goes for CC. Burning taxpayer $ on these long shot initiatives is irresponsible and divert $ from expanding R&D on actual green energy solutions such as wind, solar and battery storage.
Over 70% of the produce in Canadian grocery stores is packaged in plastic. It is essentially impossible to completely avoid it. Grocery stores have FAR more power and profit than the consumer to move the markets. It is up to them to fix the mess they helped create. Not to mention that produce packaged in plastic tends to be priced lower by weight than it's unpackaged counterparts. Not everyone can afford to boycott.
Hi! I would like to procure french subtitles for French-Canadians to be able to follow, but I don't know how to proceed. If you are interested, please let me know.
+$10 billion dollars to accelerate the climate emergency, destroy biodiversity and useful farmland, is stupid but when you look at the private equity profits can see this raw deal is shady.
Excellent and informative panel discussion with a huge community turnout! This insight needs to be seriously considered. Provincial Conservatives have an outdated mentality on growth for Ontario and rush through projects like this … to benefit WHO?
Demand the O&G to create a strategic plan to shut down fields, clean up toxic sites and #RetireRefineries - and to model the impacts on price, logistics and the economy of towns and cities where infrastructure is retired and jobs eliminated - eliminating dividends, stock buyback, bonuses, stock options and deferred compensation while disallowing bankruptcy and sale of properties to other entities.
Heavy congestion on existing hwys is causing more damage(pollution) than building this hwy...this is nothing but an attempt to keep the greenbelt north a non minority safe haven!
do little bit reserach. are you using 401 and other highway? first please don't go on those highways for yourself. As per your reel. your are not saving time. then suggest the people. Atleast you will reduce 1 car from there.
Our corrupt Ontario and federal governments already have a " deal" on that matter.They don't care about farmlands or endangered species or the people in Ontario/Canada
Yeah.. let’s phase out fossil fuels because that’ll work out great for us 🤦♂️ Tell me - what happens if we don’t stop? Will the moon turn to cheese? 😂 Wind turbines by the way? 🤣 C’mon guys lol
Well done! But can we stop using the term "natural gas"? This is industry spin to make it sound natural and healthy. Let's call is fossil gas, or polluting gas, or just simply gas.
Doug Ford MUST resign! Join our petition on Change Org! Look for Demand Doug Ford’s Resignation for Corrupt Greenbelt Land Sale! More than 2800 Ontarians have already signed! Let’s show Ford that corruption has a price.
