US thermal networks are heating entire communities. Ontario should be next Thermal energy is in the soil and rock beneath our streets and buildings and in the wastewater that flows through our sewer lines. Itโ€™s abundant, local and emission-free.

Welcome to powerofone.ca A visual guide to the power of one โ€” and the ripple effect of buying local, supporting small businesses, and choosing Canadian-made.

I made this infographic to show how small everyday decisions can strengthen Canadaโ€™s economy.

Itโ€™s called The Power of One. Head to PowerOfOne.ca to see the full story.

PLEASE share. Letโ€™s create a ripple.

We Shouldnโ€™t Pipeline Our Way out of Trumpโ€™s Crisis | The Tyee Why campaigning parties should instead be stressing green infrastructure, energy and transportation.

In the context of U.S. President Trumpโ€™s tariff war, it makes sense for Canada to reassess our energy needs. But it makes no sense to expand #OilAndGas infrastructure in the midst of growing worldwide climate chaos. ๐Ÿ›ข

Meta will soon start jamming ads into... your notifications.

"This is a great opportunity to alienate the even the last remaining angry pensioners who still, for some reason, use our hellscape of a platform," a spokesperson did not say.

The false dichotomy of systemic and individual behaviour change Individuals aren't going to solve climate change, but they are an important part of the system that will get us there.

A good essay on why we need both.

"...but certainly capable of slowing things down if weโ€™re not willing to budge."

"Elbows up" is the ultimate battle cry, one that could only be born in Canada. Inspired by hockey legend Gordie Howe, aka "Mr. Elbows," who famously defended teammates with his elbows, this slogan is ingrained in Canadian DNA..

Ecological chicken farming? Still improves the land and gets rid of pests. Perhaps with rotation?

We have a lot of marginal land here in Canada, and people are quite interested in agrivotaics. You might find the new AgCanada app useful. I haven't tried it

No need to be rude, I am merely stating a relevant fact. Also, ruminants arenโ€™t the only ones that graze. Geese and other fowl increase the viability of the land. Rotation of grazing and crops might work, and is worth considering
