Making #retrofits happen at a strata takes heavy lifting by resident volunteers to make it happen. Thanks to @CAHiggins @Bradyfaught for lending the City’s demo heat pump for our info session tonight!

I’m proud of Max & his family , their determination brought them here today bringing some closure to BMO. The Heiltsuk Nation has enjoyed a positive working relationship with @Vancity for some time. Creating a new memory with a blanket ceremony this afternoon. – at Vancouver, British Columbia

When something emits "tonnes of CO2 emissions," it's easy to forget this is literally METRIC TONS of gas.
How about: a single gas car produces 1.5 African elephants worth of pollution in a year. Or enough CO2 to completely fill an apartment building.
Great day to sit down w/ @ShaunLoney’s new book “The Beautiful Bailout”. His first book is a staple on my shelf and one I always recommend. Thus far this one is just as engaging, informative and helpful!!

Hey @ubcresidence @ubc you know what’s not cool - picking up a pile of balloons with your name on them from the middle of Howe Sound! Time for campus to go plastic free!
