@TA_Andrew_P273 HAHAHAHA!

Thinking about my energy consumption from streaming Netflix all day on my computer.... should definitely cut back, easier said than done. #energyuse

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Shocking! Thank you! Had some difficulty believing it at first. https://t.co/POXDLpSa0a

[Andrew McRae @TA_Andrew_P273]

@Jordan_273 CBC released an article about it recently:

Same, this twitter feed has been very informative and greatly enhanced the learning experience! https://t.co/vyhn2usH5q

I had fun sharing conversations with all of you throughout the semester. I've learned a lot, and I hope you have to. Now let's all put this newfound knowledge to good use and make our best efforts to prevent climate change. I look forward to continuing the conversation! #PHYS273

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Nice to see were getting some recognition from a water boiling company lol! https://t.co/QjQP3hjghH

@Jordan_273 Remember the 2017 E-coli contamination in the greater Montreal area? https://t.co/MDKAkr72I7

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Where did you find this? That seems insanely high! https://t.co/RUohoVUv5w

[Martin Storer @MartinStorer400]

I still can't believe a third of all Canadians don't believe in climate change. With time, it'll be undeniable, but let's just hope we don't have to get to that point, spread the word now before it's too late! Let's keep it below 2 degrees #phys273 #climatechange #lesson12

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Probably the best way to go about it quite frankly https://t.co/o71fFy5RvN

[ccarl @ccarl012]

@Jordan_273 Personally, I always filter my water. It's a shame that it has come to this.

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Totally forgot about this! Wasn't even that long ago... only 8 months https://t.co/QjQP3hjghH

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Had one recently in my neighborhood actually! Good point. Often these are due to pipe work and cleaning however. https://t.co/2QeyLQHcnm

[ccarl @ccarl012]

@Jordan_273 Actually, the quality of our water is much worse than municipalities care to admit. In 2018 alone, we've had at least 2 boil-water advisories issued to numerous districts in Montreal.

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

It may be decreasing in Canada, but worldwide it is still on the rise! https://t.co/ulkdmJQwtM

[amelie jacquin @ajacquin_273]

I was actually very surprised to learn that coal consumption has decreased over the last decades. Could it be due to the fact that we replaced coal by oil? Maybe also the development of hydro energy in Canada (especally Quebec)? ##PHYS273 Lesson5

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Urban planning, replanting with native species, green infrastructure development, remediation of contaminated soils, etc. will be key to combating this. #Sustainability https://t.co/1LhLd4qMZZ

95% of Land can become DEGRADED by 2050. Interesting read and actions needed to be taken. Link here: https://t.co/gLxkBNCIJK #Phys273

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Would require the government to make it beneficial for these industries to be eco-friendly and ensure a high quality of air and water. https://t.co/OvqhzGL3zv

[ccarl @ccarl012]

@Jordan_273 Unfortunately, I'm not very optimistic that we will see significant improvements in the near future. I don't think the industry cares about the quality of our water or air, as long as the big bucks keep coming into their bank accounts.

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Wow not too sure what to think about this.... crazy how lucky we are here in Quebec, something like this happening would never cross our minds. https://t.co/fvQuKgctrJ

[ccarl @ccarl012]

@Jordan_273 In certain regions of the United States the water is so polluted by the industry that it becomes flammable. The range of health issues that these people are facing is horrifying: https://t.co/qosDF29JCj

Would recommend the Tesla Roadster... may set you back a few hundred grand lol! https://t.co/P2wjrMp8xD

With the world population expected to grow to 10 billion by 2050, we'll have no choice but to completly move towards renewable and clean energy sources. The fossil fuels remaining on earth will not be sufficien to meet the energy levels demanded. #RenewableEnergy

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Challenge accepted! :') https://t.co/YpUYI8vzOM

[Jordan Montpetit @Jordan_273]

Couldn't agree with you more! It's extremely rewarding to live a minimalistic lifestyle. Buy products that'll last and don't constantly need to be replaced. Donate what you don't use anymore... avoid clutter https://t.co/VKWNWpy68T

[ccarl @ccarl012]

@Deenosaurr15 @JueRuChen1 @LariviereSoleil @nature @Deenosaurr15 I agree. Personally, I like to invest in good quality items, such as winter coats and boots, running shoes, etc. I think having very few long-lasting items is better than having lots of items that constantly need to be replaced.

"Bringing the entire country into compliance with its own standards would increase average life expectancies by another 1.7 years, in the areas where data is available. Complying with WHO standards instead would yield 4.1 years." Major differences in outcomes! https://t.co/mQn6NXZQLH

Huge impact on terrain and soil during the fracking process, unfortunately not surprised by this correlation #fracking https://t.co/FM6VlMWWZX

Hopefully we continue to see rising interest in electric cars worldwide! Most large car manufacturers now offer an electric vehicle, its the way of the future. #Sustainability https://t.co/eGgSpTlsGF

[Kathryn King @kathrynphys273]

Making the change from fossil fuels to electric. It's taken a while but finally catching on!

#Lesson12 #Mitigation

Fully electric vehicles only account for a tiny percentage of overall car sales, however this is changing rapidly.

Good point, haven't spent much time thinking about what happens to the adapted environment post construction. #hydropwer https://t.co/fmhUhTgA1d
