Dimitri PASQUION

I will participate to the Earth Month Parade in Halifax, April 20, 2pm.

At times it may not feel like it's up to us to keep our community clean and healthy, but we all have a role to play. Each day I am outside, I will pick up any litter I see.

I keep my old car (2011) and make repairs as the GHG emissions to make a new electric car are smoothen on 15 years rather that GHG emissions to make a gas car are smoothen on 10 years approximately.

When weather is rainy or cloudy, I limit my displacement and don't go for a tour.

Better know all the impacts of CC in Nova Scotia. This will happen on April 24 (Earth Month Ecochallenge: Conservation & Action)

I will prepare and share to my colleagues a ppt slide about the lack of rules from the NS provincial government to protect people against the impacts of sea level rise.

I will train 4 hours a week to prepare my LEED Neighborhood Development credential.

One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 2 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day this week.

Bees are vital to ecosystems. To help save the bees, I will learn which local flowers provide nectar and plant them in my backyard or in a pot on my balcony.

When we explore natural spaces around us, our connections with them change. I will spend 360 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood, office, or campus (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

The waste we create daily can go unnoticed. I will track the waste I create in a day and post a photo log on the feed to see how much I create and where I can make different choices to reduce my waste going forward.

The impacts of our waste are far reaching. I will create zero waste for an entire day and share my reflections and learnings on the feed.

I will spend at least 5 minutes a day using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

I visited and supported by my entrance fee the Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park maintained by Ducks Unlimited Canada. This Park supports wildlife, biodiversity in rescuing injured annimals.
