S.E.N.S. Events (January)

  1. Thank-you Egan! Egan Mandreck has been doing a super-efficient and valuable editing job with this SENS newsletter for over 15 years. He now has to give up this volunteer position to deal with health issues that have recently arisen. Best wishes, Egan. His last note: “…thank you readers for letting me make my very tiny mark in our historic battle for the planet.” 

  2. Our Community: Wish to help make this a better community? SENS would like to invite more directors to join the board as we plan for this next year. Perhaps assist with ‘chat – share nights’ that deal with various local environmental issues? Or assist with something that’s your passion???  Please contact us at info@sensociety.org should you wish to be considered for a director position or even just to help as a volunteer!

Call to Action

  1. Sign a petition for an independent review of the Pest Management Regulatory Agency’s decision to reinstate a harmful pesticide. There is evidence of industry interference in this decision. Interference of this magnitude threatens the efficacy of the pesticide regulatory system. Please follow this link to sign a petition to call for a review of this decision by unbiased experts.

  2. Ask Canada to limit global plastic production with a new environmental treaty. In a time when plastic pollution is increasing, individual plastic consumption isn’t enough to stop it. Countries like Canada have the power to affect international plastic production. To sign a petition, follow this link.

Worth the watch

  1. New electric car battery could run for 8 million kilometres. The technology could last decades and be used with other renewable energies like wind or solar energy storage. Watch the CBC story here.

  2. Canadian cities are having more above-zero days in winter. The climate crisis is resulting in less snowpack heading into spring and less water for the warmer months. For the full CBC video, go here.
