This is to say nothing of the truly proactive investments—i.e., in reducing emissions. The time to act was 10, 20, 30 years ago; but any effort expended now will substantially benefit future generations.

* $491 million *

Climate change will cost us regardless; it's up to us whether we invest proactively or respond reactively.

Even the federal government—yes, the one building pipelines—admits that every proactive dollar saves up to 15 reactive dollars.

Évitez le gaspillage à l’Action de grâce!

Demandez aux invités d’apporter des contenants pour les restes. Tout ce qui ne se mange pas, même les serviettes, va dans le bac vert.

Transformez les restes en soupe dinde et nouilles et gaufres Ă  la farce.

Les 200 jeunes arbres distribués contribueront à inverser la tendance à la disparition des arbres à #Ottawa et à reconstituer notre couvert forestier.

Lors de ce rassemblement, nous avons parlé des nombreux avantages incroyables qu’offrent les arbres. En bref, les arbres comptent parmi les technologies les plus incroyables que nous connaissons — et pourtant, nous leur accordons la plus haute valeur lorsqu’ils sont abattus.

Ce fut un véritable plaisir de nous joindre à la communauté de Vars alors qu’elle distribuait 200 jeunes arbres indigènes aux résidents — une façon géniale de souligner la Semaine nationale des forêts et le 200e anniversaire de Bytown.

Un nombre de livres au sujet des arbres, répandu sur une table.

The 200 distributed saplings will help reverse tree loss in #Ottawa and rebuild our canopy.

We spoke at the gathering about the many incredible benefits of trees. In short, trees are some of the most incredible technology we know of—and yet we value them more when they’re cut down than when they’re offering all these benefits.

It was a delight joining the Vars community as they distributed native 200 saplings to residents—a brilliant way to mark National Forest Week and Bytown’s 200th.
