Description

Without you taking action in your community - mapping out what you want - the market may not create the outcomes we want when it comes to switching over to renewables. So don't wait for provincial or federal governments to act. Conor talks with Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood about examples of action in places like Edmonton, Alberta. Hadrian is with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), you can read their full report Don’t wait for the state: A blueprint for grassroots climate transitions in Canada here: https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/dont-wait-for-the-state-2/
