A 2021 meta-analysis of over 40 peer-reviewed studies on the subject concluded that “there is no particular type of shopping that has an absolute environmental advantage and it is in no way possible to shop ourselves out of the environmental crisis.” How would that change if I hopped on the electric bus route at the end of my block?

LR100 is a cleaner fuel source for boilers than other fuel oil replacement options and will reduce air emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter by 50% and sulfur dioxide emissions by nearly 99%. LR100 has the lowest carbon footprint of any commercially available biogenic fuel. Read more here.

And Ontario is, well… Ontario really really likes so-called “natural” gas – a fossil fuel – and plans to use more of it to generate electricity. After greenhouse gas emissions from electricity dropped to a low of 4 Megatonnes, Ontario’s increasing use of fossil gas will lead emissions to rise to 18 Megatonnes.

Agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the raising of livestock and growth of crops for human consumption represent 14% of global GHG emissions. While burning methane to generate energy releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the overall climate impact is reduced and the gas could potentially replace fossil fuel sources.)

In 2021, a US district court vacated the Trump rule, but the fight against clean water continued. SW: Fertilizer companies encourage the industrial agriculture sector to overapply its product, and when all of that synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer is sprayed on soil, nitrous oxide is emitted into the atmosphere.
