"We write up our annual carbon audit for others to learn from and extend the invitation to help others measure and offset their impact."

Please choose the one area of climate action that you feel that your actions most closely relate to:
Reducing transportation emissions.

Please describe in detail a couple of the main climate actions you are taking to reduce emissions in your own life:
Family carbon audit (measurement), report, and offset. We minimize flights, drive an Electric Vehicle, and minimize meat intake.

Please describe in detail something you are doing toward broader community climate action:
We write up our annual carbon audit for others to learn from and extend the invitation to help others measure and offset their impact.


What has inspired you to take climate action?
After lots of Greta marches, it was clear that government was too slow to take action, and that only individuals could make a difference (through our direct actions, and by influencing corporations).


What advice do you have for Squamish community members who are looking to get involved with climate action?
Start discussing the topic of climate actions and hopefully we can all find better climate actions in our own lives.
