Climate - Actions required

Climate change - why urgent action is required

We need to slow down the rate at which carbon dioxide is

added to the atmosphere

We need to reduce the use of fossil fuels that release large

amounts of stored carbon into the atmosphere (coal, oil, natural gas)
Its a global responsibility that we can each contribute to

solving

CHILDREN are usually spared the responsibility of dealing with monthly bills, but at Chartwell elementary in West Vancouver students are paying special attention to mail from the utility companies. Approximately 100 students in grades 4 to 7 are participating in an educational program focused on family sustainability. The newly dubbed "watt watchers" have been tasked with collecting their household bills from BC Hydro and Fortis Natural Gas, monitoring their homes' utility meters, and inputting the data into a web program. clyon@nsnews.
