London businesses will be excited to learn that a Green Economy Hub will soon be launching locally, hosted by the London Environmental Network (LEN). Green Economy London will join six other Green Economy Hubs in Ontario communities that support and celebrate businesses as they set and achieve sustainability goals. To date, businesses in Green Economy Hubs have collectively reduced 59,105 tonnes of GHGs – the equivalent of taking over 12,600 cars off the road for one year – while increasing their profitability.

On September 25, 2018, the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario released her 2018 Greenhouse Gas Progress Report, Climate Action in Ontario: What’s Next?, to the Ontario Legislature.

The report calls on the provincial government to create a climate change law that drives down emissions while funding sensible solutions. A meaningful climate law needs science-based emissions budgets, a legal obligation to stay within those budgets, and credible, transparent progress reporting.

Gather at Deshkan Ziibi/Thames River for three days of indoor and outdoor talks, walks, activations, and art focused on river ecology, hydrology, culture, history, conservation, and gender and social justice. 

Our monthly challenge to go plogging for 30 minutes a week is up, and we're sharing our results with you. How did we do? What did we learn? We'll also be getting down to the shocking stats about litter and how it ends up in our environment. But - it doesn't have to be this way. Plogging does have a positive impact, and it becomes even stronger when more people do it.
