Local nonprofit EOS Eco-Energy is excited to present climate change week online starting January 30th.
The week is dedicated to environmental education and sustainable practices, including an online composting with worms workshop, meatless Monday, and checking in on Tantramar’s emissions.
The Tantramar area has been working on its emission targets with EOS Eco-Energy since 2011.
Now, ten years later, Energy Projects Coordinator and Mount Allison University alumna Lauren Clark has some promising statistics.
The Town of Sackville set an emission reduction goal of 10%, and Clark announced that the town managed to reduce its emissions by 31%.
Clark says that NB Power is largely responsible for the significant reduction in emissions.
She breaks down how that happened, and how it is calculated, in a conversation with Meg Cunningham.
Climate change week will take place from January 30th to February 5th.
Check out climate change week events on EOS Eco-Energy’s website.
For more information on the community’s emissions, Clark presented the information during a special town council meeting on December 7th which is available on YouTube.
Clark’s findings will be presented to the public on February 2nd, between 12 and 1pm.
She welcomes any questions about the data or about EOS in general.
