Climate Change

The village of Eden Mills, a small town outside Milton, Ontario, has pledged to go carbon neutral - to ensure that the town is not a net emitter of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The initiative has been building steam since 2007, with a regular newsletter and a Footprint Survey [PDF link] to determine how much needs to be done to achieve this ambitious goal.

Ryan McGreal, the editor of Raise the Hammer, lives in Hamilton with his family and works as a programmer and writer. Ryan volunteers with Hamilton Light Rail, a citizen group dedicated to bringing light rail transit to Hamilton. He is also is the city editor for H Magazine. Several of his essays have been published in the Hamilton Spectator. Ryan also maintains a personal website and has been known to post passing thoughts on twitter.
