Join Guest Speaker, Peter Love, to learn about Climate and Energy Conservation!

Peter will speak about climate change as the most important environmental issue to face mankind and the role of man made greenhouse gas emissions in creating this problem. He will highlight the fact that 81% of Canada’s man-made greenhouse gas emissions come from the production of use of energy. He will also note that about 60% of the energy consumed in Canada is wasted in conversion. Based on this, he will summarize the importance of energy conservation, the benefits of conservation and its challenges. He will refer specifically to what you can do at home, at work and in school as well as the role for businesses and governments. This presentation will highlight the close relationship between energy conservation and nature conservancy.

Peter Love provides strategic and policy advice on energy policy issues and serves on several corporate and non-profit boards. For the last 12 years he has been teaching university courses on energy efficiency and recently updated his free on-line textbook.  Previous roles have included Chief Energy Conservation Officer of Ontario and member of the team at Pollution Probe in the 70’s that developed the 3 R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle. He currently serves as Chair of the Centre for Community Energy Transformation as well as Toronto 2030 District. He has had a cottage in Muskoka for more than 50 years and currently serves as volunteer Treasurer of Muskoka Conservancy.
