Environment Groups’ Education Campaign on Ontario’s Energy Future

“Renewable is Doable” is the key message of a voter education campaign launched today by WWF-Canada, The Pembina Institute, Greenpeace, Ontario Clean Air Alliance and Sierra Club, Ontario Chapter. The groups are asking Ontarians to consider a clean, climate-friendly energy future when they cast their ballot on October 10.
“All political parties are courting the environmentally-conscious voter,” said Dr. Keith Stewart of WWF-Canada. “People don’t look to environmental groups to tell them who to vote for, they look to us for clear, reliable information that will help them to evaluate policies, which is what the Vote for Clean Energy campaign provides.”

Unplugging Canada’s worst river

Moncton’s fish are in luck
PATRICIA TREBLE | August 27, 2007 |
When Roly MacIntyre moved to Moncton, N.B., in 1965, the Petitcodiac River was a great place for salmon fishing. But the salmon, shad, tomcod and most other species are gone from what is now Canada’s most endangered river. The problem is a 40-year-old causeway linking Moncton with suburban Riverview. Twice a day, tides from the Bay of Fundy push up the Petitcodiac, reversing the waterway’s flow. But virtually all the sediment and the fish are stopped when the tidal bore reaches the causeway. Only a small meandering channel is left to cut through the sprawling mud flats — which can be rather odorous in the summer — that block 92 per cent of the river’s width near the causeway.

APEC leaders agree to ‘non-binding’ climate change deal

Leaders from 21 Pacific Rim countries came to an agreement Saturday on how to address climate change.
The agreement, known as the Sydney Declaration, was announced by Australian prime minister John Howard.
It establishes a non-binding goal to reduce energy intensity by at least 25 per cent by 2030.
The declaration also calls for forest cover to be increased by at least 20 million hectares by 2020 as a way of combating climate change.
Environmentalists though were quick to condemn the Sydney Declaration and its goals, which the leaders termed “aspirational.”
“The world can’t afford aspirational targets. The world doesn’t have time for voluntary action. What we need on climate change is real action, real targets and real timetables,”Julie-Anne Richards, of Australia’s Climate Action Network, told CBC News.

Politicians brimming with pollutants

Ontario’s top three politicians are awash with pollutants, from PCBs to pesticides, stain repellents to flame retardants. And it seems the party leaders are more polluted than the average Canadian, according to a report released yesterday by a Toronto-based watchdog group.
Premier Dalton McGuinty, NDP Leader Howard Hampton and Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory offered up blood and urine samples to Environmental Defence to test for 70 different chemicals, including organochlorine pesticides, such as DDT, air pollutants called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, and, for the first time, bisphenol A, a chemical commonly used in plastics.
The tests revealed the politicians carried a total of 46 pollutants in their bodies, many of which have been linked to cancer, respiratory illness and hormonal problems. All three leaders had higher concentrations of chemicals than five families tested by Environmental Defence last year.
