Join us as we explore what a healthy, abundant, zero-emissions future could look like and why this is the moment to act!

With existing technologies and methods to capture carbon and eliminate emissions, we can reach ‘drawdown’, the point in time when the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere starts to decline. We have all the solutions we need to solve the crisis while also producing jobs, improving health, saving money, eliminating hunger and preventing pollution.

We have put together a diverse line-up of speakers who will share stories about solutions to reverse global warming across a range of issues -- solutions that are already at work across society, including retrofitting buildings, active transportation, food waste and the new green economy. Together, We Can Change Climate Change!

Speakers include:

Elizabeth Bagley  Project Drawdown,

Jon Love Drawdown Toronto.

Sayan Sivanesan Toronto Environmental Alliance .

Sheena Sharp CoolEarth Architecture Inc

Leslie Solomonian, Naturopathic Doctors for Environmental and Social Trust (NEST)
