 Green tip of the week from your ECO-ST. Lo, your local environ- ment group.
What is Défi Climat?
Défi Climat is the largest civic awareness-raising and mobilization campaign in the fight against climate change in Québec. The campaign is conducted primarily in the workplace or place of study. Défi Climat invites citizens to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through routine lifestyle changes at home, at work and when traveling. To help citizens, some twenty simple and significant means are proposed, such as using public transit, recycling at home or opting for local foods produced in Québec. Environmental repercussions linked to taking such action are quantified and compiled as CO2 emission equivalents.
Accelerated climate warming caused by greenhouse gases (GHG) released through human activity is a serious threat to our future.
From the signing of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in 2009, scientific conclusions are relentlessly alarming. The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is calling for a 25% to 40% reduction of GHG emissions by 2020 to avoid serious, irreversible planetary changes1.
(1) GIEC/IPCC (2007) IPCC Fourth Assessment Report - Working Group III report, p.776.
Défi Climat is the collective movement that makes a real difference! By cumulating GHG reductions resulting from each participant's commitment, citizens see that their efforts have a significant impact as a whole in the fight against climate change.
By bringing together all individual actions, a momentum and the will to do likewise are fostered not only within the workplace, but also among partner organizations.
In addition, the actions proposed have a genuine impact on society, health and the economy.
The Défi Climat campaign has three goals:
- Raising awareness of the role and responsibility of citizens and businesses in the fight against climate change and in protecting the environment;
- Creating a collective movement fostering greenhouse gas emission reduction measures;
- Significantly reducing GHG emissions on an individual and collective basis in Québec.
At St. Lawrence let's take up the challenge!
At St. Lawrence it's easy being green!
