Pump It Up

We're working to change peoples' behaviour around under-inflated tire pressure. Why? Canada could save $600 million in fuel per year and prevent 1.4 million tonnes of greenhouse gases from being released into the atmosphere.

Pump it Up is competing for $25,000 in project funding on Shell Canada's Fuelling Change website. We need your help and vote for our project.

Energy Poverty

C3 develops incentive programs to help Albertans become more energy efficient – yet we know that home retrofits are not accessible to low-income households. What are the links between low income and fuel poverty? We are researching the extent of energy poverty in Alberta to evaluate policy, programs and partners to ease the financial burden of utility bills for the most vulnerable people in our society.

Adaptation

Albertans are already adapting to climate change, yet there is little support to help them cope with the threats and opportunities associated with it. How will changes in extreme weather, temperature and precipitation impact our environment and aging infrastructure? We are building a business case for planning strategies to cope with climate-related risks.
