It’s all very dispiriting. The Copenhagen climate conference collapsed in a mess. The climate deniers are succeeding in convincing people that global warming is a hoax; and because of their success, there will be no legislation to tackle climate change in America this year. This means that the December UN climate talks in Cancun will probably result in failure too.

New ideas are needed, not for the solutions, but for the way we tackle the problem. In this one-hour webinar, Guy Dauncey will present Seven Ideas to address this critical matter.  

Many homeowners and commercial building owners would like to make their buildings more energy efficient, but the financing has always been an obstacle. One of the hottest new ideas to tackle this is Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing programs.

Our presenters for this Climate and Energy Solutions Webinar were Johanna Partin, Director of Climate Protection Initiatives in the Office of Mayor Gavin Newsom of the City of San Francisco, and David Ramslie, Manager of the City of Vancouver's Sustainable Development Program.

Hands Across the Sand is a movement made of people of all walks of life and crosses political affiliations. This movement is not about politics; it is about protection of our coastal economies, oceans, and marine wildlife. Let us share our knowledge, energies and passion for protecting all of the above from the devastating effects of oil drilling and oil tankers.

The BC Premiere screening of FUEL is this Thursday in Duncan.
