Please start the positive…

Please start the positive move to use renewables. The film Before the Flood recently has shown that we need to make the right decisions now in order to plan for the future. This will affect health, income, water issues, and the futures of the children of Ontario. We need strong directives to help people understand that planning is key -yes money is tight , however  it will get worse as environmental changes around the world affect all of us. I am a science teacher and remind children that  everything we do affects our water , soil and air. All the water on the Earth is finite and interconnected. Finite resources make it imperative that we reduce,reuse and recycle before there is no choice. Most people use cars unwisely . Commutes are horrible and difficult. I commute from Mississauga to Toronto each day using train and subway systems. If we can change perspectives , renewables can help us to become less reliant. The move to electric cars and stations like they have in Copenhagen . We have smart , technological advances that are being unused . The public and business sectors see only the economy , but soon climate change will limit the gains and benefits that come from economy . There will be no economy that is not dependant on vibrant ecology. Renewables are helpful to our future healthcare system . With a reduction in emissions we can foresee positive health benefits as well as reducing costs. Jobs in newer tech renewable plants will encourage industry to move 'green'  Continue the move to support environment concerns as previously set out in 2015 - As a concerned citizen I urge you to move to 100%renewable . Thank you.
