SUMMARY:How Toronto is Leading on Embodied Carbon Reduction
DESCRIPTION:Since 2023\, Toronto has led the continent with a simple yet powerful standard in new construction. Their Green Standard has limited the embodied carbon intensity (ECI) in all new municipal buildings. What can climate advocates learn from the “Toronto approach” and how can it inform policy in Massachusetts? \nJoin Mass Climate Action Network (MCAN) for a virtual presentation by Ryan Zizzo on an overview of Toronto embodied carbon policy\, how it came to be\, and tips for future policy development. Program with Q&A for the first hour\, then open discussion until 1:30. \nRyan Zizzo is the Founder and CEO of Mantle Climate\, a Toronto-based consultancy focused on climate-smart infrastructure and buildings. His work directly supported an embodied carbon update to the Toronto Green Standard. \nRSVP

SUMMARY:How Massachusetts Can Lower Energy Bills By Cutting Corporate Giveaways
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder why Massachusetts has such high energy bills and what the state can do about it? In this webinar\, Policy Advocate Carrie Katan and Executive Director Larry Chretien will explain how utilities’ incentive to overspend\, a gas importer’s stranglehold over the state\, and outdated subsidies all drive up costs. We will also discuss how the Senate’s upcoming energy bill is a chance to tackle these issues. (Note: This webinar is being offered on May 12 and May 20.) \nRegister for May 20
