We opted for zero carbon transport by biking to our work retreat instead of taking a car.  We're ready to make more green choices.  (I'm pictured on the right)

Our planet is warming at alarming rates. I'm excited by the growth of renewable energy like solar and wind power. We need government to invest and promote low carbon energy options.

Together we can act for the love of creation.

Climate change is causing havoc to growing seasons and food security. Please take leadership so farmers can feed their families and communities. Please act in all ways listed, and particularly, increase Canada's Climate Finance grants and continue to support programs like the CFGB/UCC Nature+ program.

I am concerned about the warming and production of our Lake, Lake Charlotte.  Pollution by unregulated septic systems discharging into the lake from cottagers and the rise in acid from acid rain from manufacturing and fossil fuel burning. What was once a great lake full of trout is now nearly devoid of them. What a loss. As go the fish, as go the loons, and on and on… Save our lakes and rivers.

Rising temperature and rising sea levels due to climate change here in Nova Scotia will lead to lost employment and lost homes.

The use of coal is because people don't have enough money to change to something more eco-sensitive. There should be grants to help people find other heat sources, like heat pumps. Not to just be able to buy them, but to be installed and serviced, too.

Blessed are those that hear God's word and obey it.

Proverbs 13:22 - A good person leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous.

Ezekiel 24:18 - Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pastures? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? If it is not enough for you to drink clean water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet?

Your leadership matters.

As a youth in your riding, I am deeply concerned for me and my peers' future. I fear the way that we are headed is deeply unsustainable and exploitative. I urge you desperately to commit to act with our climate as TOP priority. By putting our land and environment first you commit to your community, your country and the world. As my representative on Parliament Hill, it is your responsiibility to do the right thing. It is my deepest hope that you will.

Earth is Reciprocal. We have ceased caring for the Earth, and in turn, the Earth will cease to care for us. We have lost our knowledge of the environment and think ourselves above nature. We are not above it. We depend on it.

Your leadership matters.

Mother Earth is hurting and we urge you to act.

“The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and withers; the highest people of the earth languish. The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched, and few men are left.“ - Isaiah 24:4-6

“And I brought you into a plentiful land to enjoy its fruits and its good things. But when you came in, you defiled my land and made my heritage an abomination.” - Jeremiah 2:7

We need your Stewardship.

Please work with all levels of government to:

1) limit the scale and pace of developing Niagara West, especially the development encroaching on Green Belt protected space;

2) increase province-wide accessible and affordable public transit.

Thank you
