The Council of Canadians: For Social Justice

The Council of Canadians works to protect Canadian independence by promoting progressive policies on fair trade, clean water, energy security, public health care, and other issues of social and economic concern to Canadians.

They develop creative campaigns to put some of the country’s most important issues into the spotlight. We work with a network of over 70 volunteer chapters to organize speaking tours, days of action, conferences and demonstrations. The Council also produce research reports, create popular materials, and work with individuals and organizations across the country and around the world. They do all of this to ensure that governments know the kind of Canada we want.

The Council does not accept money from corporations or governments, and is sustained entirely by the volunteer energy and financial assistance of its members.

About:

Farm Power is a Washington and Oregon company that works towards sustainable agriculture and renewable energy. Their facilities use an anaerobic manure digester that harvests methane gas from manure.

Their goal is to build manure digesters for as many dairy farms in the Pacific Northwest as possible. They work with groups of dairy farmers to design regional digesters that can serve multiple farms. By using their digesters they reduce thousands of tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year.
