SUMMARY:Ontario: undermining Guelph's Climate Goals
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nOntario: undermining Guelph’s Climate Goals \nExamining the alternatives  \nWe need a Guelph City Council resolution. \nOntario’s proposed gas plants expansion – and associated greenhouse gas emissions- will undermine Guelph’s climate change goals. It will also significantly reverse the pollution reductions achieved by shutting down coal plants. There are alternatives. \nIn light of the climate emergency acknowledged by Guelph City Council\, groups in Guelph (see list below) are joining forces with organizations across Ontario to demand the province reduce\, not increase\, fossil fuel generated power. We urge City Council to pass a resolution\, compatible with our emission reduction goals and with Council’s previous resolution supporting a phase-out of coal-generated electricity. \n_______________________________________________________________________ \nJoin us as we host Jack Gibbons from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance. \nThis webinar will shed a light on how Guelph can once again lead in fighting climate change. Our city was at the forefront during the coal phase out. Now we need to do the same with gas plants. \nJack Gibbons from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance\, will draw a road map on how we can exploit new alternative cost effective clean energy sources that will generate economic and social wealth. He will advocate how transitioning away from fossil fuels to a renewable energy economy has clear benefits for people and natural ecosystems. We have an opportunity to create a more prosperous\, healthy and equitable society. \n_______________________________________________________________________ \nAbout Our Speaker\n \nJack Gibbons| Chair of the Ontario Air Alliance\nJack Gibbons is Chair of the Ontario Clean Air Alliance.
