As wildfires rage across BC and water advisories are announced by authorities, we are experiencing the impact of climate change on our daily life more than ever before. Climate change is no longer a worry of the future, or a negligible and intangible increase in average temperature; it can cause devastating extreme weather situations, cost a lot of money, displace people, and even claim lives.
There is hope among all the doomsday predictions, but only if we act now.

Climate change provides us with an opportunity to move towards sustainable energy and business solutions and embrace environmental protection as the means for our own survival.
