Mobilization for Climate Justice - London
Join us for the first meeting of Mobilization for Climate Justice – London, at the East Village Arts Cooperative (EVAC), 757 Dundas Street East (map), a few blocks to the east of Adelaide and Dundas. The Mobilization for Climate Justice is urging communities, organizations and activists across North America to join in organizing mass action on climate change on November 30, 2009 (N30). N30 is significant because it immediately precedes the upcoming UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen (COP-15). Urgent action is needed around the Copenhagen climate talks because this is where governments around the world plan to finalize the international climate regime that will take effect when the Kyoto Protocol climate agreement expires in 2012.

Workshop: Solar Heat for Water Heating (Sarnia)
More and more people on this planet are sharing limited resources such as fossil energy sources, and the energy and resource hunger of the developing countries are adding to the consumption and depletion. North America has the highest per capita energy consumption in the world. The use of fossil energies is leading to build-up of CO2 in the atmosphere, and changes in global climate, the magnitude of which is not yet fully understood, but potentially very significant. Canada’s arctic and glaciers are melting, and we pretend it is business as usual. We need to move to a long term and sustainable form of use of energy, and renewable energy technologies are this way. This presentation will focus on solar heat for water heating, explain the technology, show examples and look at how applicable this technology is for Canada and the US. Heat generation is a very significant user of energy in North America, and solar heat can and will make a sizable impact. Speaker: Klaus Dohring is the founder and President of Green Sun Rising (www.GreenSunRising.com), a Canadian company in renewable energy technologies, focusing on renewable energies for heat generation. Introductions: Maike Luiken, Ph.D., Chair, IEEE London Section, Dean, Applied Research, Business Development & Innovation, Sustainability Development.

Time: 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
