Fraser Valley Climate Action 🌿🌎💡

The ridiculousness of white people in Canada complaining about immigrants makes me think there should be mandatory vaccination against ignorance

Today's essential read for all of humanity. “Keep one eye on the world as it is, and the other on the world as it ought to be, confusing neither and abandoning neither,”

Sorrow will have its seasons and its reasons, but let us leave a window open for joy. Some days, simply carrying on asks more of us than anyone can see. Keep going gently. The effort matters because the life you are tending is your own.

More plugin solar legislative activity south of the border. Here in Canada... silence. We need affordable plug-in solar legislation, across the country, now. Check out www.pluginsolarpower.ca to learn more about our advocacy. And join the fight!

Long Read. You might have heard it said that Canadian or U.S. LNG is cleaner than asian coal and this is why increasing production is important and maybe morally necessary. Peer reviewed scientific studies say "hold your horses, not necessarily." docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Vancouver landfill emits methane into the air? Oh no, thats not good. how much? oh no, thats not good data.carbonmapper.org?details=CH4_...

Our board passed a motion that we should dissolve the non-profit I agree. I'll keep on advocating as an individual, but we're taking care of the paper work to lessen the administrative burden. Not all plans succeed :-)

Please Discuss. What do you think about this? (source worldometers)

The math is mathing ;-)

New EV sales data from Statistics Canada suggest Canada's EV market is, after a sluggish 2025, regaining momentum. In August, EVs accounted for 13% of all new cars sold, up 47% over the same month last year. In a leading province like B.C., EV market share passed 25%.

Standard asphalt pavement consists of stone aggregate bound together by bitumen (a petroleum-based binder). Engine oil, transmission fluid, gasoline, and diesel are all hydrocarbons. When they drip from parked vehicles, they act as solvents, breaking down and dissolving the bitumen. EVs are better

Renewables and batteries mean energy stability, energy security, energy independence, energy abundance. Cleaner air, lower costs, more jobs.

Hey United States citizens. Crossing my fingers for you hoping for the best. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hope you can save your democracy and country from the rot and self interest of the billionaire class and evil Christian nationalism. Wanting the best for you. At least vote blue

Elizabeth May has enough credibility that this makes me feel concerned.

This is really important. As manufacturers give drivers choice, it becomes possible for them to drive electric. the adoption up to this date has relied on a rather poor selection of EVs. This is gaining momentum as better EVs are offered :-) (phew!)

For the BC Municipal election in Mission BC. Good to see so many candidates aware of and supportive of the Sue Big Oil campaign to make sure Mission taxpayers don't bear the full cost of climate change by themselves. suebigoil.ca/election-gui...

I think it’s exciting that Russian bot traffic on the Internet has dived after the Yandex data centres got attacked by Ukraine. We’ve certainly seen lots of trolls and bots engaging around climate change. This misinformation and disinformation can’t stop soon enough.

😏😏😏

It's worth voting in your municipal election. Cities do a lot of the boots-on-ground climate work. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/07/o...

The next hospital to open in BC is in the Cowichan valley and will be British Columbia’s first electric hospital. No gas just clean electricity. Here’s a view of the rooftop covered in solar panels clearly it’s going to connect to the grid. might as well use it free electricity from the sun

I often see people argue that clean energy is not reducing emissions, because it just adds to rather than replaces fossil fuels. This argument is deeply misguided – clean energy built since 2005 has displaced 23 billion tons. I dive in over at The Climate Brink:

I love how despite all the political nonsense. I see Canadians and Americans working cooperatively when all kinds of areas, including law-enforcement scientific discovery and social justice issues. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 ❤️

With Chinese EVs reducing demand for oil by about 1.1 Million barrels per day this saves 200 trips with a VLCC per year. EVs are cutting China's oil dependency.

Coal growth is flattening in China. This is without Canadian LNG. We don't need more "methane" production and export. We need clean electricity. #electrifyEverything

China demonstrates solid growth in EV sales for both personal cars and industrial trucking. China is showing the way and realizing cleaner air, more stable energy costs & a better competitive edge. Will North America keep chasing the old dirty technology of "drill baby drill"? Plan for the future

From Bloomberg: The LNG book is los­ing its biggest Asian bet "Nowadays, LNG is failing on all three": It's never been clean and it's no longer cheap or secure. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I often see people claim that because clean energy sources like solar, wind, or nuclear are manufactured using fossil fuels their emissions are high. But thats absolutely not the case: even accounting for full lifecycle emissions they are vastly better than burning coal or gas:

I’m finally making the switch to electric yard tools from gasoline powered yard tools. I hadn’t anticipated how much quieter they were and that they were actually higher performance. There’s no priming, choke, air filters, running the engine to get it warm. They just work instantly.

China is electrifying its industries and gaining a huge cost advantage. Will Canada and North America wake up? or double down on polluting technology from the past like Oil, Gas, LNG etc.

Are you a Canadian? Concerned about your Canadian Pension Plan having no climate plan and being invested in oil and gas that promote pollution and may become stranded assets? Shift has a time sensitive petition for the CPP you might want to fill out: nwmd.social/s/copylink/4...

As big oil corporations push Canada to subsidize and invest in LNG to "save China from coal generation". China is already saving itself. Some of these LNG projects have significant foreign ownership. Profits don't necessarily flow to Canada. #strandedAssets

Carney announces $1.2B investment to protect oceans from his own climate policy

Could we please stop framing climate action as a left/right issue. It’s just a big issue that all politicians need to grapple with. Both a massive cost/risk & huge economic opportunity with clean energy transition (with big risk of stranded fossil fuel assets).

In many ways Mark Carney is proving to be an excellent Prime Minister for Canada at a critical time in our nation’s history. But he also might be the smartest man in the world to act really stupidly about #ClimateChange at a critical time in world history.

In North America some resist clean energy because countries like China create more pollution. That is not the whole story. China's demand for coal and gas is leveling and might have peaked already. China needs to decarbonize. Yes. And they have started in an impressive way.

I love how clean energy continues to be more cost competitive year after year. This promises greater stability and lower prices for consumers! Keep choosing "clean" and we'll get there together.

I'm encouraged to see that 43% of global energy is clean energy. We're making progress. Each of us needs to make choices and advocate for the clean prosperous future we desire for ourselves and our children. ember-energy.org/focus-areas/...

Today on Canada's National Day for Truth and Recilliation I'm thoughtful about how Truth is essential before we get to reconcilliation. If people minimize or attempt to bypass the harm, they can't experience the reconcilliation. nctr.ca/wp-content/u... (recommend reading the 94 calls to action.)

Witnessing injustice as a form of prayer shifts the focus from trying to force an outcome to a deeper act of presence and solidarity. It becomes a way of holding the truth of the suffering, refusing to let it disappear, and offering that pain up to something larger. I watch Ukraine 🇺🇦

If you thought that EV battery and charging technology were plateauing, think again. electrek.co/2026/09/25/g...

TIL: Kyiv's founding date is around 482 AD, though archaeological evidence suggests settlement in the area going back even further, possibly to the 5th–6th century. Moscow, is first mentioned in historical records in 1147 AD, when it was a minor settlement. So Kyiv predates Moscow by 700 years.

We mustn’t forget the people are good and worthy of love governments can do terrible terrible things while the people in those nations suffer or have no control. This is why it’s so important that governments follow the will of their people Russia 🇷🇺 / USA 🇺🇸 / Iran 🇮🇷 etc.

Three quarters of the world's population lives in countries that import fossil fuels, leaving them exposed to price and supply shocks. Our analysis last year showed how #electrotech is reducing this vulnerability. Find out what's next on 16 September. ember-energy.org/lat...

The world's greatest marine energy resource is the temperature delta between sun-soaked surface waters and frigid depths. Engineers in India are building what could be the first profitable Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion plant. spectrum.ieee.org/ocean-therma... @spectrum.ieee.org ctrum.ieee.org

@victoria.ca Really impressed with your we go slow campaign, especially the yard signs that we’ve seen when we visited Victoria is it possible to order those yard signs we’d like to consider using them in our neighbourhood here in Abbotsford British Columbia www.victoria.ca/getting-arou...
