Living Well in a Low Carbon World

On April 23^rd, the NWT Chapter hosted a community discussion to inspire actions to avert catastrophic climate breakdown. The discussion led a calendar of Earth Week events sponsored by Ecology North, a Yellowknife-based NGO. Four speakers set the stage for the discussion.

The some 40 community members in attendance shared many good ideas for moving the NWT to a low carbon world. They recognize the role we all have in changing the current climate narrative, being positive and hopeful, and inspiring efforts to decarbonize our communities. We can look to car sharing co-ops and electric vehicles, use renewable energy sources, support local food production, and advocate for energy efficient buildings and equipment. We can champion on-the-land education and stewardship programs so more people care about the natural world.
