DO WE REALLY NEED COAL TO MAKE STEEL? In the meantime, we need to reduce our use of steelmaking coal as much as we can. Fortunately, only 70% of steel is made with coal today. The other 30% of the world’s steel production uses electric arc furnaces, fed with recycled steel or iron smelted with natural gas andhydrogen.
WILDLIFE LOSE OUT IN BC LEGISLATION The issue goes far beyond endangered species; British Columbia’s iconic wildlife are in crisis. Since the 1990’s when Wildsight first began our caribou program, mountain caribou in British Columbia have declined from 2,500 animals to 1,260, a loss of almost 50% including extirpation of both the South Purcells and South Selkirk populations. PROGRAMS – WILDSIGHT Since 2003, the Community EcoGarden in Fernie, BC has provided gardening opportunities and community education through sustainable organic projects. Inspired by permaculture principles, the garden enables members to utilize individual garden plots to grow and harvest flowers and vegetables. Read More. Keeping Food Real. Elk ValleyBranch.
