That\u2019s still the purpose today as millions of Canadians join 1 billion people from countries all over the globe in holding events and supporting projects that raise awareness of local and global environmental issues.<\/p>\n<p>One of the greatest environmental challenges the world is facing today is climate change. As Canada and the global community work to address the challenges of climate change, nuclear energy is an important part of Canada\u2019s clean energy portfolio. Nuclear power generation doesn\u2019t contribute to climate change or smog because there are virtually no greenhouse gas emissions from our nuclear power facilities. And because nuclear power facilities produce large amounts of continuous power (base load), they enable the use of complementary renewable energy sources, like wind and solar. Currently nuclear energy provides 15% of Canada\u2019s electricity. If this 15% was replaced by fossil fuels, it would increase Canada\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions by 12%, or about 90 million tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an interesting time for nuclear as countries are starting up and expanding their nuclear energy programs (China, India, Vietnam), and others are shying away for the time being (Germany, Japan). We believe nuclear is a key part of a clean energy future, for Canada and the world. So this Earth Day, why not learn more about the contributions of nuclear technology \u2013 not only in power generation but also in medicine, food safety, new technologies, innovation, etc. Visiting <a title=\"NUnuclear.ca\" href=\"http:\/\/nunuclear.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NUnuclear.ca<\/a> is a good place to start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy Earth Day!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Check out what one of our members is doing to celebrate Earth Day \u2013 or rather, Earth Week, in their case!<br \/>\n<a title=\"Bruce Power Earth Week\" href=\"http:\/\/www.brucepower.com\/5474\/news\/bruce-power-supports-earth-week-by-assisting-environmental-programs-along-the-shoreline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruce Power supports Earth Week by assisting environmental programs along the shoreline<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAlthough we do an excellent job of protecting the environment through our day-to-day operations, we understand the importance of educating the greater community and youth of Bruce and Grey counties on the importance of being good environmental stewards.
