Climate Strike event!
With the commencement of the #globalclimatestrike, Coolearth Architecture Inc. participated in the strike on Friday, 20 Sept. 2019. Our Coolearth team along with the principal Architect Sheena Sharp showed great enthusiasm. We came out of our office, stopped work, did not answer emails/ telephone calls and advocated the cause.
We challenged other Architects of the city via Twitter, to close their offices and it was great to see the firms Sustainable.to and Andy Thomson Architects to partake.
There were a bunch of people who joined us, including the 3-month-old infant. 🙂
We educated people on how and why to “get off-gas” and how we can eventually reduce our carbon footprint in line with the Paris agreement. We have developed a “Carbon Budget” calculation per person. (See the PDF) CO2 emission form
We have samples of insulated wall panels (HP Wall system), insulated metal wall panels(Kingspan), insulation materials (ROXUL, AGEPAN, FOAMULAR), air/vapor membranes (SOPREMA), green roof assemblies(ZINco), triple paned-windows and catalogs of Mitsubishi Electric, Bullfrog green energy, Home Energy Loan City of Toronto, Second Hand Sunday leaflets etc on display for the ongoing week.
We are marching with the people from the design group, on the 27 Sept. 2019 to Queens Park 11 am. See you there!
