Is fracking actually back on the table in New Brunswick?🤦🏼‍♀️

Fracking has been associated with significant environmental and health risks, while offering no guarantee of affordable energy or long-term job opportunities. So now that the provincial government considering a lift on the fracked gas moratorium, it's time raise our voice, share the facts, and put the pressure where it belongs: on policymakers - not underground!

Sign our letter calling on New Brunswick decision-makers to commit to maintaining the moratorium on fracked gas:

Each year, Take Me Outside Day inspires students and educators to get outside and connect with nature - and this year was no different! We'd like to thank Garden Creek Elementary School for hosting us alongside the Lichen League, and an amazing roster of local nonprofits for a day of environmental education.

Together, we can inspire the next generation of environmental leaders in New Brunswick 🌱

Mike from Golden Mile Redemption Centre in Saint John was a little unsure at first, but after making the switch to electric, he quickly realized it was the right move! From safety and reliability to less routine maintenance, Mike loves the benefits of driving an EV at work! 🚗

The Conservation Council of New Brunswick traveled (by EV) to meet local business owners who have Electric Vehicles working for them! Our first stop was meeting up with Mike from Golden Mile Redemption Centre Centre in Saint John, New Brunswick.

What started out as a purchase based off of scarcity, ended up being a sucessful finanical and environmental decision! The Golden mile saves $4000 - $5500 in fuel costs every year after switching to electric, which will only increase with the price of gas!

Come back next week to hear more about how Working EVS Work for New Brunswick Businesses!

Have you considered going electric for your business?
