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.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation

What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?

Ce que je remarque, c'est qu'en raison de la pandémie beaucoup de personnes se sont mises à marcher quotidiennement. J'espère que cette habitude va rester et que cela aura un impact positif sur les infrastructures et sur les échanges dans le voisinage. :)

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?
Geneviève Caron 4/02/2021 11:11 AM
Je pense qu'une alimentation riche en protéines animales est encore associée, dans certains milieux, à un symbole de richesse/prospérité.

Quand je pense à toute l'énergie nécesaire pour produire un kilo de boeuf hâché, je ressors mon livre de recettes à base de lentilles!!!

Salut tout le monde!
Je viens de m'inscrire au Challenge et j'ai aussi rejoint la page Facebook de Mères au Front, un organisme qui passe «à l’action
pour protéger l’avenir de nos enfants de la crise climatique.» Are you in? (Or maybe your mom??) ;)
