This EcoNews edition is pleased to present the Conservation Council’s climate change action plan for New Brunswick. Here, you will also find a reminder about the MP town hall meetings on climate change and an invite to our annual paddle of the beautiful Musquash coming up this Saturday.
A plan to enhance the climate change conversation
You may have seen Louise Comeau, our Climate and Energy Policy Director, all over the news! The Conservation Council released its Climate Action Plan for New Brunswick yesterday, July 13. The plan offers concrete solutions towards bringing our greenhouse gas emissions down by investing in the retrofit of our buildings; expanding efforts to install renewable energy; and accelerating the installation of the Energy Internet.
Public invited to give input on climate action at MP town halls this month
Members of Parliament are currently doing town hall meetings to get your ideas on climate action and we hope that our climate action package that includes a nifty infographic will be useful in your conversations.
