12:00 PM to 1:00 PM

Our local governments have signed a charter with the BC Government to reduce emissions and become carbon neutral by 2012. Your actions as an individual play a role in this goal. The presentation gives many suggestions for small changes we can all make in our recreation, travel, home, food, banking, and more.

�Along with learning what greenhouse gasses are and how they relate to climate change, you�ll find out specific things you can do to measure and reduce your carbon footprint,� says Lehanna Green, The Marketing, Communications and Organizational Outreach Coordinator with Cowichan Energy Alternatives. �The talk combines science with practical ways to help our community.�
