1/3 - Back in March, 100 members of the Nova Scotia public participated in the Public Bills Committee process for Bill 6 – the hugely regressive bill that would lift the moratorium on uranium exploration and fracking in the province.

2025 is critical to tackle pollution, biodiversity loss & seize the benefits of clean energy.

All countries must create new #ClimateAction plans to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C & avoid the worst of climate catastrophe.

On #EarthDay, let’s get to work together.

We’re excited to announce that the People’s Parade for Life on Earth is back on Saturday, June 7 (rain date Sunday, June 8 )!

More details to come!

"Let’s not mince words. Anybody who tells you that the evidence around fracking has changed–that it's more healthy, that it's safer–this goes against all the studies up-to-date.”

“The height of arrogance:” St. FX prof calls out Bill 6, Houston’s dismissal of provincewide movements to ban fracking, uranium exploration https://t.co/881OfMM6eM via @TwitCoast

[UN Climate Change @UNFCCC]

New report by @WMO: 2024 was likely the warmest year of the past 175 years.

While a single year above 1.5°C of warming does not mean that our temperature goals are out of reach, it is a wake-up call.

2025 is a critical year for climate action.

#OTD in 1835: Joseph Howe’s trial for criminal libel took place in the Supreme Court, now the Legislative Library.

He had published a letter in his newspaper, the Novascotian, accusing city magistrates and police of corruption and mismanagement. It was signed “The People”.
