Fantastic turnout at Repair Cafe at Ron Kolbus Lakeside as a partnership btwn @en.ottawa.ca & Ottawa Tool Library & many dedicated volunteers helping to fix broken appliances etc. I loved the FIXED! Cowbell that rang when something got repaired. Thanks @jleiper.bsky.social for dropping by.
The new climate strategy released today by the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) misses the mark. It has major blind spots which could lead to serious consequences for the retirement security of working and retired Ontario teachers. #onpoli #onted #ONclimate www.shiftaction.ca/news/2026/02...

The weather’s shaping up to be great for our Hintonburg Heatpump & Hot Chcolate Event on Sat. If you’ve been thinking about a heatpump, join a tour, ask questions from real heatpump homeowners. Kids are welcome, we’ll end at Hintonburg Park so it’s not “booooring” visitaheatpump.ca/tours/Sxi832...
Amsterdam will ban fossil fuel and meat advertisements in public spaces and on public transport starting May 1st. 🥳
Bea Kim is an Olympian, @protectourwinters.bsky.social member + climate advocate.
“The world is changing. Glaciers are melting that we’re riding on. Each year we wonder if there will even be enough snow for us to do what we love. I couldn't watch it happen and not say anything about it,” she says.

We love our heat pump – saved 30% of our TOTAL energy costs the first year we had it!

The single biggest thing you can do in 2026 to reduce the amount of carbon you produce is to swap your gas furnace for a heatpump.
@electrify613.bsky.social can help you make the switch. Make a plan so you’re ready when your furnace kicks the bucket (or before then).
We believe that we have a superpower: our love for our children. As 2025 draws to a close, we wanted to celebrate our #COP30 mothers delegation with this beautiful film, capturing their heart & care - and the spirit of our movement.

Heavy hitters of Canada's climate movement in here. Give it a listen and get inspired.
A recent UN report found that the unsustainable production of food and fossil fuels amounts to a whopping $5 BILLION of environmental damage PER HOUR. 💸
This is the glaring truth that #BigOil doesn’t want you to know: the cost of doing nothing is much higher than the cost of taking climate action.
Would you look at that, I'm already about half way through the first recommendation on this list!
Big big feelings, important, approachable info and even humour. I loved @drkatemarvel.bsky.social on the mansplaining "retired engineers" 🤭
Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
Methane is harming our health today and the planet that future generations will inherit tomorrow. Canadians want to see this addressed, when will our government step up?
Canada is delaying methane reduction. Methane = the least expensive and easiest way to reduce climate emissions at scale.🤯
