John Muir, Founder of Sierra Club

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”

“Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you.”

Areas We Currently Work On

• Water• Climate Change• Ocean Conservation• Sustainable Economies

Environmental Education

“A lot of people think nature exists on a hike … They don’t notice the weeds coming up through the pavement. Nature finds its way everywhere.”

Climate Change“This is a critical time in our history, where we can decide to invest .. in fossil fuels, or we can put our foot down and say no, there are alternatives in renewable energy and in energy conservation that are safe and economically viable that communities want.”

-Gretchen FitzgeraldProtestors target oil pipeline,Halifax Herald, Sept. 3, 2011

Water“The health of the Wentworth-Carleton watershed is already seriously strained by high-density fur farming at its headwaters. It’s very depressing. Sloans Lake is one of the last clean lakes in the watershed.”

Ocean Conservation“If enough of us raise our voices, we can stop this madness and save the Gulf of St. Lawrence from a monster spill like we just witnessed in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Sustainable Economies

“It looks like Wolfville activist Janet Eaton was wise to warn Wolfville town council recently about a possible ramification of the Canada-Europe Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Eaton believes municipalities should be concerned about how CETA might impact our water supply.”
