350.org founder Bill McKibben says that the most important thing an individual can do about climate change is to not be an individual. You can’t solve this yourself. On November 29^th, 2015, two hundred people walked from Hillcrest Park to the Paramount Theatre to raise awareness of the need for action on climate destabilization just before the Paris Climate Talks.

Canada signed the agreement and still, governments talk about building new pipelines. Will you join us?

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.

I will continue to serve the community in duty, love and activism, with a commitment to environmental stewardship, educational and inspirational, with honor and pride for these ancestral lands to build a better more inclusive sustainable Thunder Bay. A better tomorrow today!

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.

What would you do without power for your clothes dryer?  Using a clothesline can save electricity or gas costs, as rates will continue to sharply rise. Even during wintertime clotheslines will partially dry laundry and help you to save electricity.

Due to the cycles of freezing and thawing, the concrete is cracking and breaking creating holes that get dug deeper by our cars that pass through them. These are almost impossible to keep maintained due to the abundance of them!

Check out the MASSIVE amounts of unused space on the edge of Memorial avenue.  I’m terrified to cycle on Memorial avenue, especially with my son in tow and so we avoid shopping or visiting here during the warmer months.  I also see countless people cycling illegally on the sidewalks and edges of Memorial.  Let’s turn this useless space into a beautiful protected cycling path to encourage the whole community to visit this area safely.

I have started using a clothesline instead of the electric dryer in my house. It not only saves energy but also sunlight can kill bacteria and give the laundry a fresh smell. Besides not contributing more to our carbon footprint, we will be saving money too.

Stop the flooding with rain gardens!

Food security is becoming increasingly important in a world with a changing climate. Although Thunder bay does not presently have a by-law that allows for backyard chicken, many residents still provide local food for their families and neighbours.  Will we see a change someday soon?
