It's clear that in Canada, like the rest of the world, we're facing a climate crisis. We have a handbook of what you can eat, how to save energy to help the planet.

The final part in our #StarClimateChange series. projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
1. Watch what you eat.

In our #StarClimateChange piece, we list out everyday goals that can help save the environment. Of the four, pork, poultry, beef, and shrimp, which has the greatest environmental impact?

projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
2. Energy choices

Ever thought about what kind of fuels you burn to drive your car? How about heat your home or power your appliances? Here are some tips for carbon-reducing that you can try: projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
3. Make change with your money

Whether you have a thousand dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars in your bank account, how you choose to invest those funds can help fight climate change.

4. Reduce air travel

The greenhouse gas emissions that come from jetting across the country are supersize compared to those that come from highway driving. Yep, we're talking about airplanes. projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
In addition to these everyday tips, our #StarClimateChange guide includes the stories and advice from experts across Canada. projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
“I was burning my entire carbon budget in one or two roundtrips,” @petitegeek said. “When I was flying, I was 10 times over the limit. That really opened my eyes. Now I stop and think first before saying yes to flying.” projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
"If you are deeply worried about climate change, talking about it with other people is therapeutic; you see that other people share your concerns," @SMEasterbrook says. "You kind of form this little self-help group." projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
“People are bringing things they learned from the community about our responsibility to the environment and taking those lessons home, and that is huge.” This is how the @JaffariCC mosque is cutting waste to protect the environment. projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
To read our full handbook, which includes a playlist, helpful everyday tips, and how to talk about it with you friends and family, our final #StarClimateChange has a guide. Read the full thing here: projects.thestar.com/climate-change…
This is the final part of our #StarClimateChange series. To read how we've been covering the changing climate across Canada, head to our series page here. We'll be re-sharing these in the coming weeks: projects.thestar.com/climate-change…

This will be Daniel Dale's last #Trump fact-check as he departs the Star for a new role at CNN. Since the start of his presidency, @ddale8's has flagged more than 5,000 false claims. That's around 8 false claims a day.

thestar.com/news/world/ana…
In January 2018, @ddale8 told us why fact-checking Trump's false claims matter. Here's what he had to say:
In that time, @ddale8 has also gotten his hands on some explosive stories out of the White House, including this: Donald Trump confirms Star story on his secret bombshell remarks about Canada.

#Breaking: GM confirms Oshawa Assembly Plant will stop production in 2019, affecting more than 2,500 jobs. thestar.com/business/2018/…
In 1918, McLaughlin Buicks and Chevrolet, which both had vehicles constructed in the building that would become the GM Oshawa Assembly, merge into General Motors of Canada. A look back at 100 years: thestar.com/business/2018/…
The GM Oshawa plant began production in 1953 and employed as many as 23,000 people. On April 9, 1985, Siergert Ellerbusch, a retired tool maker and wife Liidiia were first in line to take home their new car, a Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, made at the plant. thestar.com/business/2018/…

One thing in the way of effective action on our #climate crisis (and our toxics crisis, our biodiversity crisis, our plastics in the ocean crisis, not to mention our violence, war, poverty, racism, & sexism crises) is a terrible misunderstanding of who/what we are.
Many people speak about this as a spiritual/moral crisis and I agree. But, the misunderstanding I want to talk about is at once simpler and more profound.
(Note - when I say 'we' I mean those of us acculturated into the western industrial growth mindset, which in evolutionarily relevant timescales has only been around for a fleeting instant. Humans haven't always thought this way, and not all humans alive today think this way.)

I was in my last year of high school in '97 and the Howard Government was campaigning and lobbying world leaders against an emerging climate change deal, as revealed by the 96/97 cabinet papers naa.gov.au/collection/exp…
Cabinet submissions and decisions on #climate change in the first 18 months of the Howard Govt are notable for not mentioning the impacts or consequences of climate change at all....
The motivation that kept Oz reluctantly involved in the Berlin Mandate negotiations that led to the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol was international ostracism and the fear of trade sanctions if it was recalcitrant

When I hear ppl saying that we need systems change and not culture change to address #climate breakdown, I think ppl overstate the ability of top down law reform to change culture. Law reform is not particularly effective and changing culture. 1/
Guess what - the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments did not achieve the end of slavery, equality, or the right to vote for African Americans. Slave state culture maintained near total African servitude, inequality, and vote suppression for a century b/c it was in the culture. 2/
Prohibition was written into the constitution. People did not stop drinking b/c it was in the culture, and the temperance forces didn’t give resources to enforce prohibition b/c it drinking really didn’t affect them except philospophically. 3/

Just returned from Bangkok, where nations made little progress towards finalising the Paris agreement on climate change that aims to limit global temperature rises over the next 80 years.

It was my first @UN #climate change rodeo and there were a few things I wasn't aware of
Under Paris, countries agreed to a fairly detailed set of promises to keep global temperature rises under 2C by 2100.

It was the first time all nations - both developed and developing economies - signed up to the same set of climate rules. But they weren't binding
Parties gave themselves in effect 3 years to come up with a text agreed by everyone, ratified, and translated into national law on a state-by-state basis. The idea is the accord isn't legally binding, but the rulebook it provides could be on a national level
