You can see Moffat (Jannetty), Leach (HBK) Milligan (Brutus) all in a single scene here. They are really debating the resource vs manufacturing economy in Canada, and Milligan just walks away. youtu.be/hsvUNQyWFhw?si=rfwm…

Also an homage to the greatest logo of the 2000s.

Unbelievably sad and infuriating to see how someone destroyed the little free library in the Sunnyside Coop. #yyc

I have always lived in NW Calgary so it feels like a treat when I sneak out to Fish Creek park for some early morning fishing before work. Pheasants, deer, beaver and fish, all in abundance! #yyc

It is estimated that this first installation at the Excel Society building will reduce 6 t CO2e/Unit/year of natural gas emissions and capture another 5 t CO2e/Unit/year.

This now makes so much more sense to me. Rather than reinvent themselves, or deploy new tech in the field, we can truly understand the US shale revolution as being triggered by the release of Excel 2007 and the liberation of executives from spreadsheets.

Even with Alberta's grid an electric vehicle emits about half the amount of carbon on a life cycle basis.

Definitely okay to recycle or compost pizza boxes in #yyc.

What is your concern with nuclear and biodiversity loss? Nuclear land use impacts are dramatically lower than any other energy source. Am I missing something?

This UCLA report has many references across the full spectrum of research of gas appliances and air quality. The report focused mainly on indoor air quality from gas cooking, as outdoor air quality is the concern from furnace/water heaters due to venting. ucla.app.box.com/s/xyzt8jc1i…

This is great. Looks like there is a laneway house on 908 4a Street. (circled)

Did we see the same owl?? I was marveling at this beauty in Sunnyside a couple weeks ago.
Having a quick coffee during a break at #ecogather and thinking about the hope I have for a bright future for the land and community I am connected to here in Calgary.
