It found that electric vehicles powered by electricity with low greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions have great potential to reduce GHG emissions from ground transportation on a life cycle basis.

We actually discovered a number of these. They regulate plant metabolism and even gene expression at very low concentrations, so

The original company, Bios Agriculture, had an interesting history. It actually went through the corporate food chain. It was taken up by a larger Canadian company

Environment committee  Mr. Saik, thank you for being here today. Unfortunately, I can't think of any Canadian government that has vilified our farmers and agricultural industry more than the current government. The attack on agriculture in the name of climate change has become so senseless that we

What Canada needs to do, instead, is simultaneously improve worker well-being and community resilience toward climate change through green housing initiatives, retrofits, community-distributed energy projects, and zero-emissions

Fogdog's mission is to remove these 32 million tonnes from landfills and, in turn, help reduce the climate change temperature by up to 3°C in Canada. Fogdog can process

Environment committee  I think I'm getting close to the end of my time, but I would like to know a little about how the Ojibway national urban park would help with adapting to or mitigating climate change in the Windsor area.

Environment committee  Okay, so we have shoreline erosion taking place and we're losing significant parts of it. In fact, the port got money to actually scope the climate change along there. With regard to the draft national urban parks policy that you're undertaking? right now, do you have public

I feel that as we all know with climate change, everything in the southwest is on fire. It is a couple of degrees warmer, and we know that we are losing, through

Environment committee  There are concerns over the ecosystem right now, and the stresses of climate change, and I mentioned the intensification that's going to take place with the new transportation corridor that's coming online and climate change and other factors.

Environment committee  Yes. We call this Canada's ecological hot spot, because it is where biodiversity loss is at its peak. It's also where climate change is being felt. You have the microclimates there. The city of Windsor is routinely suffering from flooding and heat events. Preserving these areas
