Very excited to rip out our fossil #gas furnace and replace it with a cold climate air-source #heatpump this week. New system is more affordable, efficient and comfortable and will end our household dependance on fossil fuels. Disconnect #gas #electrifyeverything #ClimateCrisis
I'll be sure to post details, photos (and eventually household energy data) through the process.

After quick reading @environmentca new Emissions Reduction Plan, two major (& predictable) blindspots have emerged. A short 🧵 #ERP #cdnpoli #climatecrisis 1/7
2/7 FINANCE: describes modest historical process, without providing any path forward for aligning financial regulations with #ParisAgreement for regulated finance institutions/crowns, mandatory #ClimateRisk disclosure, stronger capital adequacy requirements, mandate changes, etc
3/7 FINANCE: Under #SFAC, finance institutions are regulating themselves. Major Canadian #banks lobby against mandatory #climaterisk disclosure & are #greenwashing #sustainablefinance - major policy reforms are needed & are missing here. thenarwhal.ca/canada-big-5-b…
