The leaders of each of the country's 10 provinces and three territories are going to bring forward their aggressive strategy to deal with climate change.

"We want to work co-operatively together, we want to share best practices and we want to look at ways that we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions," New Brunswick Premier Shawn Graham told CTV's Canada AM on Wednesday.

A number of initiatives have been put into place so the conference will have a minimal impact on the environment.

These include:
The use of water coolers and reusable water bottles;
Using overhead projectors and other methods to reduce paper use;
Serving only local food; and
Prohibiting vehicles to idle.

Premiers and volunteers will also plant 900 trees after the three-day event to offset the carbon impact of the conference. Source...
