The ClimateWise program was developed by the CASA Climate Change Project Team (CCPT) as a community-based public outreach pilot program. The program was designed to assess what barriers inhibit Albertans from taking simple actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

All the materials associated with the ClimateWise program and its six information sessions are included here. Use them to learn more about climate change and what you can easily do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy usage.

The team agreed the effectiveness of the ClimateWise program would be enhanced if there were options to market ClimateWise as a program model, rather than as a workshop package. Organizations are welcome to use or adapt these materials. That way the program can be adapted to fit with your priorities, with portions of the program implemented separately rather than as a complete series.

The Pembina Institute gives Canadians a fun and easy way to personally combat climate change by launching the One Less Tonne tool — a web-based application designed to help ordinary Canadians reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change.

At onelesstonne.ca ((http://www.onelesstonne.ca/) users can click and choose among 20 actions, committing to change the way they use energy and thus reduce their personal emissions by one tonne — or more. With every action they pick, users get a tally of the emission reductions they will achieve, as well as the money they will save through reduced electricity or fuel costs.
