Solving the Climate Change Puzzle
One of the biggest challenges facing humanity today is climate change. In order to leave a better world for future generations, will you take action to help mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis? We believe that educating our youth in order to empower and inspire them is a key component of this actionable mix of solutions and you can help make that happen. We are seeking $25,000 to create a new project based on our successful Water Docs at School model for students 13 to 17 years old.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela
This project is called #LaterNoMore: Lesson Plans for Students and it will research the six major contributors to toxic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through hands-on projects and filming. The Lesson Plans will also encourage actions that students can take to mitigate these emissions in their own schools and neighbourhoods.
It will take outstanding curriculum and media developers to realize the impact this project promises to attain. With your help now, the #LaterNoMore Lesson Plans can be up and running for the next school year (2022-2023).
Your gift is an investment in our collective future and the futures of the youth we will reach through this program. Remembering that all of our actions have consequence, you can become one of the many heroes of this story with a tax-deductible donation in any amount that is affordable for you. Let’s reach this goal together and become those very heroes we’ve been waiting for!
Crowdfunding is about sharing. It’s so important to spread the word far and wide that good work is happening to make positive changes in our world. People want to help the positivity grow, so please share this message and funding opportunity with your friends, family, and extended networks.

For decades, the gravel mining industry has blasted, dug, crushed and trucked across Ontario with apparent impunity.
The gravel mining industry is authorized to extract thirteen times more gravel every year than what we use, from more than 5,000 existing gravel mining sites in Ontario.
The provincial government allows the gravel mining industry to consume on average an additional 5,000 acres of land each year.
We — the people of Ontario — demand that our government impose an immediate moratorium on all new gravel mining approvals, until an independent panel can chart a new path forward.

Every time I enter the ocean, it shows me something beautiful and unexpected. I’m looking for sharks, and a fin whale surfaces, breath bursting into fine mist. Sea lion pups encourage me to play, spinning in the water, swimming fast then turning on a dime and blowing bubbles. Floating at the surface, a comb jelly mesmerises me with rainbow bands of bioluminescence.
