We are a community group of older adults who feel that our generation has been part of the problem in contributing towards our current climate crisis. With the benefit of being retired, we strongly feel that it is our responsibility to be part of the solution. We believe that there is a better way of doing things that is more sustainable, and that each one of us can make a difference. We want to help our neighbours and community understand how our daily choices impact climate change and, we want to offer concrete, proven, simple solutions to encourage behavioural change in our lifestyle, going forward.

Our Mission Statement:

“To be a model community whose lifestyle choices prioritize stewardship of our planet.”

Our Vision Statement:

“To engage the New Tecumseth community in the development of a model to reduce their carbon footprint and take meaningful steps towards solving our climate change challenges.”

Our Values Statement:

“We value honesty, openness, integrity, equity, equality, and tolerance.”

“In our relationship to our planet, we value sustainability, conservation, preservation of life, ethical resource management, waste, and greenhouse gas reductions.”
