Join this national campaign launch to hear from movement leaders and experts on why the Ksi Lisims and LNG Canada Phase 2 LNG export projects are not in our national interest and how much better the clean, renewable economy is better on every measure.

Carbon Tracker analysts will present the research in their two recent reports: Fading Fortunes and Petro-Provinces at Risk, with updates that factor in the impacts of the war.

The Trent University professor’s work challenges common assumptions about the carbon footprint of the internet, and she is the author of the widely-shared zine Getting Into Fights With Data Centers. Pasek draws our attention to the infrastructure that makes AI, but also much of the online infrastructure we use day to day, and its impacts on climate and water. As our energy systems struggle to transition away from fossil fuels, data centres are multiplying demands for electricity and water. This discussion, hosted by the Council of Canadians’ Dru Jay, will offer new ways to think about digital systems and their environmental impact. </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_oCYIzDdRRxqzGNVpUtKqVQ#/registration">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_oCYIzDdRRxqzGNVpUtKqVQ#/registration</a></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>______________________</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:red'>Do We Need Nuclear Reactors to Create Medical Isotopes?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.

Medical isotopes are radioactive materials that are used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. But despite nuclear industry hype, the fact is that modern medicine has never depended on nuclear power reactors. Any isotopes (radioactive materials) that are considered medically useful have been either extracted from nature or have been produced in “particle accelerators” such as cyclotrons, or in research reactors that do not produce electricity. In addition, medical procedures that do not involve radioactivity at all are increasingly preferred – they are often less costly and less hazardous, and do not leave a legacy of radioactive waste behind. Learn the facts with independent nuclear expert, Dr. Gordon Edwards, of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/LzYq4iDlQMq_ZAib-VyS5Q">https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/LzYq4iDlQMq_ZAib-VyS5Q</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:#3B7D23;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#3B7D23;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'>Speak Up for Toronto's Renewable Energy Future<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.

In 2025, fires burned more than 8.3 million hectares across multiple provinces (roughly the size of New Brunswick), making it the second-worst wildfire season in the country. Some experts warn this could become the new normal. At The Walrus Talks Wildfires, expert voices from the health, climate, policy, and technology sectors come together to explore the impact of the wildfire crisis. Speakers will break down how fires affect public health outcomes, air quality, and the economy, as well as the challenges of rebuilding communities after catastrophic loss and why Indigenous nations are disproportionately affected. With smoke and other side-effects now crossing provincial and national borders, Canadians are asking not whether this will continue, but how we respond.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-walrus-talks-wildfires-tickets-1982686099496">https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-walrus-talks-wildfires-tickets-1982686099496</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>______________________</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:#A02B93'>More Toronto events <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://showuptoronto.ca/">https://showuptoronto.ca/</a> <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:#A02B93'>For the best Canadian climate and energy news, visit and subscribe to the Energy Mix newsletter<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://theenergymix.com/">http://theenergymix.com/</a> <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:#A02B93'>Democracy Now Daily Show - global peace, justice and enviro news<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/">https://www.democracynow.org/</a> <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:#A02B93'>Tooker Tapes Archive Project - Youtube Playlist<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3IwhNn-WrINTQz2fBNayDoBWLW0y59le">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3IwhNn-WrINTQz2fBNayDoBWLW0y59le</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><span lang=EN-US>Submissions, subscribes, unsubscribes, and comments: <a href="mailto:angela@cleanairalliance.org">mailto:angela@cleanairalliance.org</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>Share this newsletter on social media using this link: <a href="http://greenspiration.org/news-events/">http://greenspiration.org/news-events/</a></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
