Dear Editor:
With the price of oil plummeting and jobs in the oil sector being lost, there is no better time to take action to transition to a clean economy powered by renewable energy.
Canada is fortunate to have many sources of renewable power (wind, solar, geothermal, etc.) and has the tools, technology, ideas, innovation and policies to accomplish the goal we set at the UN climate conference of holding global temperature rise to a maximum of two degrees Celsius.
Canada should cut carbon emissions by one-third within a decade to keep the promises we made at the December UN climate conference in Paris.
For my children and grandchildren, I urge the government to take bold action on climate change. Together, we can push the government to fulfill promises it made in Paris to act on climate change. The longer we wait, the greater the costs and consequences will be for our own generation and all future generations.
