A new report from CAPE and For Our Kids, “Polluting Education: The Influence of Fossil Fuels on Children’s Education in Canada,” reveals that at least 39 oil and gas companies are funding or developing K-12 environmental and climate-related materials in our schools. These resources downplay the fossil fuel industry's role in climate change, exaggerate oil and gas' pro-environmental actions, emphasize individual responsibility over systemic solutions, and shift responsibility away from fossil fuel polluters. A panel will unpack the report’s findings, explore how fossil fuel influence is undermining climate education, and discuss how we can take action and demand fossil fuel free education for our kids.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.forourkids.ca/polluting_education_webinar">https://www.forourkids.ca/polluting_education_webinar</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B0F0'>Improving Watershed Security Across Simcoe County<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Tues.
