Youth demand climate action at the global climate strike in 2019. In response, we've developed a ten-year plan to catalyze climate action. Learn how you can help kickstart the #ZeroCarbonChallenge below. It's been a tough couple of weeks. Deadly heatwaves. Floods. Wildfires. Fire clouds. Drought.

Overview of Woodfibre LNG's updated site layout. It's been a bad few months to be an oil and gas exec... LNG's public image as a "climate solution" has shifted to "climate disaster" and rightly so. Many LNG projects are pulling the plug:

Tim Turner counts the rings of a 200-year old Douglas Fir on Gambier Island. Old growth forests right here in Howe Sound that are under threat. Recently my brother, Bob, and I explored Whispering Creek on Gambier Island.

There is something magical about Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound. Whether I'm exploring the shoreline or out on the water, I am always in awe of the life above and below the waves. I love spotting seals and sea lions, or the colourful sea stars that are now returning to Howe Sound's waters.

Did you know that Canada currently spends $4.8 billion dollars a year subsidizing fossil fuel companies? That's $4,800,000,000 dollars. That's how much it would cost to teach 360,000 students; retrain 480,000 workers; or pay the annual healthcare costs for 880,000 people. Shocking, right?

The owner of Woodfibre LNG, Sukanto Tanoto, Howe Sound's unwelcome, wannabe neighbour is in tax trouble again. Why? Because Tanoto's pulp and paper company, APRIL, has been accused of profit shifting to reduce its tax bill in Indonesia. The report, titled "The Macao Money Machine" notes:

An independent hazard assessment of a worst-case scenario accident (X) shows that residents will suffer potentially lethal radiative effects (up to 330 metres), second degree burns (up to 460 metres), and pain (up to 715 metres).

If Woodfibre LNG goes ahead, there will be 70–100 LNG tankers transiting Howe Sound every year. Here's the latest update on Woodfibre LNG: Sukanto Tanoto's pulp and paper company, APRIL, is facing profit-shifting accusations to reduce its tax bill in Indonesia.
