Strategy of @AFN_Updates is to share the concept of #climatechange through an indigenous lens, taking into account context, impacts and action, and to forward approaches that encourage taking only what you need. @KluaneAdamek #YukonFN #BLC2020
Really appreciated Chris Magwood's (@EndeavourCentre) intro in his @CaGBC #BLC20 session where he brought his personal life into focus as his 'why' which reminds us and personalizes this critical work that we, climate activists and building professionals, do

As a sustainable building professional who has long worked + studied the impacts of climate change, I’m really impressed with @Chatelaine’s #GreenIssue! Excellent reporting that Canadian readers can easily digest! 🙌🏼 I hope reporting on these topics continues beyond this issue 🌿
Couldn’t be more proud of working along side these women.
From our team of Women to all the amazing women out there Happy International Women’s Day #IWD2019 lnkd.in/e3pT6E7

We have polluted our planet for too long, and the consequences are more obvious and more severe than ever before. We have to cut pollution and we have to position our economy for the future. It's time to act. #EnvironmentEconomy
@WasteFreeYEG do you know whether a lifecycle assessment evaluating the environmental impact of cloth vs disposable diapers exists specifically for #yeg? @DefraGovUK analyzed this over 10 years ago but has there been a more recent/local evaluation done? assets.publishing.service.go…
What about @UAlbertaEMSO, do you know about any environmental evaluations conducted recently for our region regarding cloth vs disposable diapers?

5 City-owned parcels are up for redevelopment. The challenge is to add value to the land + neighbourhood with a multi-unit housing proposal that will work within the existing neighbourhood and respond to local market conditions. Learn more: ow.ly/yPzr50k5Uih
So proud of our peer and colleague, Jacob Komar with Revolve Eng! #Geothermal is the future and Alberta has what it takes from expertise in drilling and drive to lead to transition towards sustainability. #thealbertapotential
Jacob Komar is passionate about #geothermal energy systems and their potential in Alberta. Check out our #Renewable blog post on what drives his interest in this technology. ow.ly/2qXF30n4WCN

It’s not fossil fuels vs. renewables - “the future will be a marriage of the two”. Hear more from @NAITAltEnergy graduates Beth & Julia in the latest episode of #Renewable: youtu.be/8FyUYAhekis
“It's going to be something we look back on and be like, why was that so difficult back then?” Beth & Julia are a part of an emerging workforce that will power Alberta's future. Find out what that looks like on this episode of #Renewable: youtu.be/8FyUYAhekis
More of this please! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
