Calculate your #ecofootprint, then challenge your family, friends, and neighbours to some friendly sustainable competition to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions! #yxe #yxecc #yxeclimateaction https://t.co/CMXVq1VyB3

[SEAC Saskatoon @SEAC_Saskatoon]

Over the next 80 years, #yxe can expect warmer overall temperatures, more hot days, increased precipitation, increasingly variable seasons & more intense storms. If we take action today we can reduce the impacts! #yxecc #yxeclimateaction https://t.co/M56oraFdYh

[SEAC Saskatoon @SEAC_Saskatoon]

SK’s emissions per capita are the highest in Canada. With ~1/4 of the population residing in #yxe, we have a unique opportunity to be a leader in reducing our GHG emissions! Learn more about our emissions & what is being done here. #yxecc #yxeclimateaction https://t.co/rTMg9pMu03

Even if you are the laziest person on earth, here is a selection of actions you can take, from “Level 1” (easy) to “Level 4” (less easy). We want to hear from you; let us know what you pledge to do. #yxe #yxecc #yxeclimateaction #unsdg @UN #unitednations https://t.co/06LqYLUxA3

Emissions produced through energy consumption in buildings accounts for nearly 60% of #yxe’s emissions. You can take action in your personal life by heating and cooling your home efficiently. #yxecc #yxeclimateaction https://t.co/K3BFQsoDn5

[SEAC Saskatoon @SEAC_Saskatoon]

Taking action against climate change matters. It matters for you, it matters for us, and it matters for future generations. Climate change impacts our health, our economy, and food security. But it’s not too late. #yxe #yxecc #yxeclimateaction https://t.co/6d9QJ8TsGa

[SEAC Saskatoon @SEAC_Saskatoon]

Emissions produced through waste account for ~6% of #yxe’s GHG emissions. Take action in your own household by reducing & reusing what you can, and recycling & composting the rest! Learn more from @wrsask. #yxecc #yxeclimateaction #LECplan #wastereduction https://t.co/PVGpbeLhlL

Why compost?
1. It's a simple and effective way to reduce waste;
2. You can reuse your compost to build healthy and rich soil; and
3. It reduces methane pollution from landfills.

Start composting today with tips from https://t.co/xmG5YgRL89.

Transportation accounts for 30%+ of #yxe’s emissions. Even though the City is exploring ways to reduce emissions through the #LECPlan, you can take personal action. Ride your bike, walk, take the bus, cross country ski, or join the @yxecarsharecoop. #yxecc #yxeclimateaction

The impacts of #climatechange are largely experienced at the community level & preparing for it gives us greater resilience. Check out this emergency preparedness guide. #yxe #yxeclimateaction https://t.co/s2NEi2LICV

The Northeast Swale in #yxe is home to hundreds of different species of wild plants, birds, hares, foxes, coyotes & deer. If you are lucky enough to live near the #NESwale, make your outdoor lighting dark sky compliant. #yxecc #yxeclimateaction https://t.co/ctiJ5QQYqR

The @cityofsaskatoon has been working on both #climatechange mitigation and adaptation efforts. What are the differences between mitigation and adaptation? This graphic explains it well. #yxe #yxecc #yxeclimateaction

Cities only occupy 2% of the world’s landmass, but consume over 2/3rds of the world’s energy supply. The way #yxe chooses to respond to the climate crisis will set the agenda for our collective future. Check out this infographic. #yxecc #yxeclimateaction https://t.co/WYq4ZUdxmU

Local emissions create local impact. The @cityofsaskatoon addresses many of the health implications of climate change in the #GrowthPlan and the #LECPlan. What makes you excited about #yxe’s approach to sustainability? #yxecc #yxeclimateaction https://t.co/lIIyzfDMYC
