Earth Month, Earth Day, Earth Hour… These are movements more than they are moments. They each aim at creating awareness towards the reality and issues of our massive footprint on Earth and the unsustainable rate to which humans are causing climate change.
Every year, Earth Month is held in April, Earth Day is April 22, and Earth Hour, which is a symbolic one-hour break from our machines and devices that run on unrenewable energy, is usually on the last Saturday of March. All 3 are about the fight against climate change, which is what we call the long-term changes in temperatures and weather patterns that are primarily (by a lot) caused by us humans, especially through our burning of fossil fuels and our unsustainable meat production.
Western Québec has put together a collection of resources to help you learn more about climate change: its causes, its consequences, its urgency, and some pieces of the solution. Spoiler alert: some of these solutions rely on you.
