Climate solutions in the Outaouais
Building a better world through stories that matter
Building Solutions:
Energy efficient homes for extreme weather
High performance homes leverage passive forms of heating and cooling that lower energy costs by up to 90%, while improving indoor air quality. They don't cost that much more to build and are effective in locations where temperatures range from -40 C to +40 C. Why aren't all new homes built like this?
OUR VISION
Climat Outaouais Media shares stories of climate solutions taking place in the Outaouais region.
By highlighting the voices and stories of people acting to create resilience in the face of extreme weather, collapse, and biodiversity loss, we seek to inspire positive change and promote sustainable solutions.

Climat Outaouais Media is an emerging collaboration between Savanna Oliver & Laura Wesley.

For the love of mulch
Using waste material from natural sources such as wood chips or leaf litter has myriad benefits. But what happens when waste material becomes more valuable than its primary source?
Conservation & Agriculture: a perfect marriage
Agricultural producers need to be in sync with the cycles of nature. Affected by changing weather patterns, farmers at the front lines of the the climate crises. Find out how farmers are conserving lands, sinking carbon, and re-using waste for the benefit of produce, people and the planet.
Ecological corridors: enabling safe movement of animals to increase biodiversity
Meet the people connecting fragmented landscapes to provide the flyways, waterways, and walking trails that animals need to hydrate, migrate, and multiply. In addition to increasing biodiversity, allying with nature to (re)create wildlife corridors also helps address harms to humans and the built environment caused by flooding and extreme heat.
