Coal is Still a Concern

This spring, Albertans breathed a sigh of relief when the Government of Alberta made the decision to pause temporarily all new coal exploration and development on the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains, following recommendations by the Coal Policy Committee. While this was a step in the right direction, Albertans are still waiting for a future without coal on our beloved Eastern Slopes to be enshrined into legislation through subregional land-use planning. Despite the relative silence on the coal file in Alberta over the past few months, it remains a hot topic on the world stage.

There is an urgent need to engage people with nature. All aspects of it. Not just the pretty bears and cute snakes. Also the realities of it, the death, struggles, and pain. Not only are people losing touch with nature, they are losing touch with the realities of nature.
