Making Hamilton a leader in the fight for climate justice
3 Mar 2023: Excellent opinion piece in the Hamilton Spectator by Dave Carson questioning Dofasco’s wisdom in replacing coal with so-called “natural” gas. Green steel is being produced today in several locations in the EU. Why can’t we do this in Canada rather than taking half (at best) measures at almost the same cost?
28 Feb 2023: H350’s Conservation Matters committee, along with special guests from McMaster University and Conservation Halton, is hosting a free webinar on Tuesday, 7 March at 7 pm.
It’s open season on paving our wetlands over, including most of those that have been protected for close to four decades. Let’s see what we can do about it!
27 Feb 2023: The Alliance for a Liveable Ontario released a report by Kevin Eby, former Region of Waterloo Director of Community Planning, showing that municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe have already set aside more than enough land to meet all of Ontario’s housing needs for 2031 and beyond.
We urgently need systemic change to address and minimize the effects of the climate crisis being felt all over the world. While Hamilton 350 can’t solve the world’s problems, we’re doing what we can to address the situation in our own backyard.
To do that, we need you and your energy, whether it’s for ongoing work in the committees, below, or for one-off actions and events. Hamilton 350 depends on the efforts of volunteers.
Focusing on a just transition and ethical practices
Responding to local attacks on the environment
Taking climate action for the next generation
Promoting the transition to renewable energy
Pushing for free, frequent and electric public transit

There are costs associated with organizing and holding events, getting the word out, providing honoraria for speakers and performers, hosting this website, and much more.
350 represents 350 parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere.
What are we currently at?
For this statistic—and much more—see the website CO2-Earth.
Hamilton 350 acknowledges that we are on the traditional lands of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Mississauga peoples, which are governed by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Agreement and are covered by the Great Lakes Purchase of 1792.

This is a LIE. FOX news level deliberate lie. LNG does not reduce emissions. It increases them. These kind of outright lies are why it’s sadly impossible to trust the oil industry. ( And gas is as dirty as coal: https://www.c40.org/news/fossil-gas-cannot-be-a-transition-fuel/ ) https://twitter.com/lngaction/status/1633567662256308225
The current head of the Sierra Club--and the former head of the NAACP--is taking on the fossil-fueled banks. This is a big deal in the leadup to Tuesday's big protests @ThirdActOrg https://twitter.com/BenJealous/status/1636744066183602177
The taxation of billionaires is too low. That’s a legit issue. Pass it on.
