Lake Superior has been recognized as one of the most rapidly warming lakes. Climatic changes will impact Lake Superior, by increasing water temperatures, longer ice-free seasons, fluctuation in lake-water chemistry, change in Lake water level and productivity.

Climate change is resulting in an increase in earth’s temperature globally. This temperature rise will result in disappearance of mountain glaciers, sea ice and rivers. Sea level rise can displace 10% of the world’s population.

Do a tick check every time you come back from the outdoors. Tick populations are growing and intensifying due to climate change.

I work in a salon where we use all organic products. Eminence plants a tree for every product sold, so I am happy to be a part of the fight against climate change #no chemicals #good for the earth and skin #recyclable #compostable #green future.

The strength of our urban forest is a good indicator for the health and resilience of our community. Trees produce oxygen, reduce flooding, cool our homes, and make our city a beautiful place. But climate change is causing a lot of damage to our trees, right when we need them most. These pictures not only remind me of how integrated and dependent we are with the urban canopy, but it also reminds me of how vulnerable these trees are, especially with increasing occurrences of drought, freezing rain, and strong wind – all the more important for applying best management practices to create a stronger urban forest that benefits our true wealth of our community!

From the first day of BrewHa, there’s been a strong commitment to litter reduction. The festival features a vendor ban on non-recyclable serving materials, the use of reusable glassware, and a recycling vessel beside each garbage bin.

As a teacher, the need to educate younger generations on climate change is important and evident. The lack of knowledge and understanding about the effects of our actions on the planet has resulted in movements such as the one pictured here, found on Lakehead University campus.

Participating in such event showed me how many people are supporting the cause despite of who you are nor where you are from. A lot of children participated, and it is very promising that how they are learning about the environment at such early ages. They will run a great future.
