Spread the Word

While opinion polls have consistently shown that wind energy has broad public support in Canada, it is important to make your voice heard when governments and utilities are developing energy policies and when communities and municipal governments are considering wind energy projects.

Saying “yes” to wind is a great way to help us reduce the impact of greenhouse gases and move us into a cleaner future. If you want to help spread the word about wind energy, please click here and CanWEA will provide you with regular updates and information on how your voice can make a difference.

Green Power
Choosing green, carbon-free power is an easy way to do your part to help fight climate change and create a healthier environment for future generations.

Green power is energy generated by low-impact renewable or sustainable sources — resources that are replenished naturally and with minimal harm to the environment. Generating green power is cleaner than producing conventional energy because it produces little or no air, ground or water pollution. Green power sources include wind, solar, biomass (burning plant materials and wood waste), and small-scale hydro-power (including run-of-the-river). (Source: the Pembina Institute)
