DAILY ACTIONS

Action Track: Accelerating Solutions

Save Rigaud Mountain

Rigaud Mountain is an expansive natural resource that we rely upon to run many of our Outdoor Education courses, here at JAC. It is under extreme pressure from development and mismanagement, and in desperate need of protection. Facing COVID and the Climate Crisis, the need to protect our few remaining local intact forests, is more stronger than ever. We need them, for our health and wellness, and they are disappearing. If you are able, please support this important cause and take a few moments to forward this letter to others who understand its importance. The petition and funding pages are accessible through the "Learn More" button.

COMPLETED

Transportation

Muscle Power on Earth Day

I will cut green house gas emissions related to my commute to John Abbott College on Earth day, April 22. I will only use muscle-powered transportation (walk, bike, skateboard) for my commute.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our bodies, our planet, and other people?

    It results in more GHG emissions. Rich countries eat more meat because they can afford it!

      It is like meat is seen as a social status thing ... even way back in history, only the rich could afford meat, or to consume it every day.  The poor were lucky to get even a loaf of bread.

    More trees and less pollutants and construction would make it more enjoyable.
