Welcome to the Nanaimo Citizens Climate Action Story Gallery. Here is a place to tell real stories about real people taking climate action. The climate is changing, and the choices we make in our lives have impacts on the environment. Those choices can also affect how much the climate will continue to change and how well we will endure the resulting extreme weather events. Citizens taking action now are helping the environment and reducing their climate impacts. They are benefiting from better health, saving money and supporting their community.
See page 2 for a story on bicycle commuting, page 3 on installing a heat pump and air filter, page 4 on installing solar panels, and page 5 on starting a seed library. The stories represent a range of options and are told by people of various ages. They are my friends and family, and I am grateful for their willingness to participate in the Climate Action Story Gallery.
We are thrilled that Vince & Marianne are benefitted from all of these upgrades, especially their heat pump! Thank you for sharing this article. I am going to pass it along others in similar circumstances to help them see that they too can improve the comfort level of their own homes and do it in a more affordable way.
