Keep putting pressure on decisionmakers to back real climate solutions and ditch dangerous distractions like LNG and carbon offsets.
Accessible, affordable clean energy is the answer, not more dirty fossil fuels. #JustTransitionNow

Carney’s government must say NO to more public money for LNG.

🔔 #GoodClimateNews alert 🔔 Cities across the globe are taking action to reduce harmful air pollution and pivot to be more pedestrian and bike-friendly rather than car-centric.
The results speak for themselves.

That’s a win for everyone…except Enbridge.
Makes you wonder: Who is this bill really for? 👀
📢Tell the Ontario government: we deserve a climate-safe future.
Take action.
Ford’s new Housing bill attacking local green building standards would pave the way for additional gas pipelines and hookups, locking people into using polluting gas furnaces and boilers for years to come. 🚨
Green building standards mean safer homes and lower monthly heating and cooling bills.

Doug Ford is rolling out the red carpet for fossil fuel giant Enbridge Gas. 🤑
🛢️Enbridge already supplies gas to most of Ontario residents for home heating — and it wants even more customers.
More gas users means more profits.

Tell Big Tech to run their data centers on 24/7, local and additional renewable energy – or not at all:
It's almost like Big Tech companies aren't following a sustainable model for communities or the climate as they race to build out data centers... 🤔
meme of Gru announcing his evil plan, with Gru labelled “Big Oil”. Text on presentation goes “We’ve knowingly caused the climate crisis, polluted people’s air & water across the globe, & endless oil wars let us raise prices & fill our pockets. ..wait what about the Strait of Hormuz”? Screenshot of headline from Associated Press reading “Energy fallout from Iran war signals a global wake-up call for renewable energy”.
meme of person whispering in someone’s ear and their hairs on their arm standing up, with screenshot of Business of Fashion headline reading “EU to Ban Destruction of Unsold Clothes and Shoes” being what the person is whispering.
Screenshot of New York Times headline reading “Local Opposition Is Slowing A.I. Data Centers. Wall Street Has Noticed.” Meme of puppet looking around nervously with puppet labelled “Big Tech”.
Meme of Pam at the Office with first panel with person holding pieces of paper and subtitle “Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.” Paper on left reads “making cities more pedestrian/bike-friendly & less car-centric” and paper on right reads “reducing toxic air pollution to improve public health. Second panel shows Pam saying “They’re the same picture.” with a screenshot of a Guardian headline reading “London, San Francisco and Beijing achieve ‘remarkable reductions’ in air pollution”.

Fossil fuel companies' voluntary reporting vastly understated their harmful pollution?? Shocker. 🥴

digs into it, including commentary from Stand.earth’s @richardbrooks.bsky.social. 👆 👆 👆
Only #BigOil & Gas in Canada benefits from war in the Middle East - everyone else from small businesses, to consumers, to farmers and even other industrial sectors lose.
THIS is why hitching our future on more oil and gas doesn't make any sense.
#ThisIsClimateChange.
In order to protect the people and places we love from the dangerous impacts of the climate crisis, we must demand bold, urgent climate action. #LaterIsTooLate.

As the energy transition picks up speed, governments around the globe are adopting measures that restrict, pause, or prohibit new fossil fuel production.

ICYMI 🚨 Doug Ford is trying to destroy Ontario’s local green building policies.
This housing bill will allow Ford’s developer buddies to cut some corners and save a few bucks, but those costs will just be passed down to us 😡
