A logical follow up to the Climate Fresk workshop on understanding and adapting to climate change is to look for climate-friendly canadian products and services.
After one year of facilitating the Climate Fresk in Toronto and Montreal, I’ve compiled this initial list of climate-friendly products and services those in Canada, especially Toronto, can consider shifting to.

One of the challenges for climate activists, sustainability advocates and green champions is to engage fellow citizens, students, suppliers, clients and staff on a more sustainable and eco-friendly path.
The Climate Fresk workshop is an innovative, yet low tech tool from Europe that helps galvanize groups of citizens, students, employees, suppliers, clients and elected officials or civil servants to act on climate change, in an engaging 3.5 hour session.
Here are some ressources on climate change to follow up on a public Climate Fresk workshop in Canada.
