Reducing your Carbon Footprint - One Family's Personal Journey

The 2 Degrees Institute

A talk about one family's interventions that cut their annual household carbon footprint by 7 metric tons.

<p>Though the vast majority of Canadians are concerned about the climate crisis, we are in the top 10 of the world’s highest carbon emitters per capita, and are the only G7 country whose emissions have increased in recent years. Clearly, we need to implement a strong national climate action plan, but what can we do now, in our own everyday lives, to make a difference?</p><p>Join the 2 Degrees Institute as we explore what practical actions you and your family can take to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. Find out how to calculate your carbon footprint, and learn from local residents who have reduced their footprint by implementing lifestyle changes.</p><p></p><h2>Featuring</h2><h3>Norman Gleadow</h3><p>Norman Gleadow, of Roberts Creek, will talk about his family&#x27;s interventions that cut their household footprint by 7 metric tons of carbon per year.
