Made-in-Alberta – Climate Talks Part Two

Length: (4 min)

MIA (Ch. 16) Seasonal Specials (Ep. 3) Climate Talks Part Two
Does reducing greenhouse gas emissions from human activity have other benefits? It could if we use the opportunity to develop a more efficient society, powered on renewable and sustainable energy.

About Chapter 11 “Seasonal Specials”
Going green isn’t about changing your life beyond recognition. It’s about finding lower-impact ways of enjoying our lifestyles and seasonal celebrations. Made-in-Alberta investigates how Albertans are making every day Earth Day.

About “Alberta Speaks”
We catch everyday Albertans out and about in our community to ask their opinions on new energy issues. This week we were at Edmonton City Hall, where members of the Greater Edmonton Alliance attended municipal planning discussions about the preservation of farmland inside and around Edmonton.

About Made-in-Alberta (MIA) Series

Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, 96 percent of Albertans now want new energy solutions. Since 2004, Barb Allard and her Made-in-Alberta team have been finding these solutions and bringing them to community television and the world-wide-web.
