  Hello Louisette,

  Registration  will be closing soon for our upcoming educational forum. 
  Please  register for our event by clicking on the link below. As always, we look forward to  seeing you there!

  Educational Forum: The  Region of Waterloo's GHG Reduction Plan

  There are a  number of Observing Organizations within the Regional Carbon Initiative (RCI)  that recognize the importance of not only setting a greenhouse gas (GHG)  reduction target but also creating a plan to reach that goal. Since joining  the RCI in April 2010, the Region of Waterloo has set an example for  Observing Organizations looking to make GHG reduction commitments: they have  identified their annual GHG emissions to be 148,000 tonnes and have set a 14%  reduction target per capita. 

  In this  educational forum, David Roewade, the Region's Environmental  Sustainability Planner, will share the Region's process of using the  support provided by Sustainable Waterloo to create a thorough GHG inventory  and action plan to reach a practical reduction target that balances  environmental and financial responsibility with community need.
