The headlines in March highlighted once again the many factors that are slowing down the ecological transition: political backtracking, geopolitical tensions, and the resurgence of false promises from the fossil fuel industry.
But they also reminded us that real solutions are within reach, provided that we choose a path rooted in consistency, sobriety, and sustainability.
And because the transition is also fuelled by dialogue, shared experiences, and community participation, we're hosting participatory theatre experiences in Québec City, Trois-Rivières, or Chicoutimi (in French).

Premier Ford,
You have made some comments asking Quebecers to scale back ambition regarding the electrification of our vehicles. We'd like to make it clear from the outset that we don't place much value on your opinion when it comes to transportation. If you'd like to know why, here are a few reasons.
The Canadian Electric School Bus Alliance (CESBA), co-founded by Équiterre and Green Communities Canada, has released its first comparative report card of school bus electrification across Canada.
Though progress has been made in curbside recycling, many contradictions remain. It's “incoherent” to support polluting industries that slow down the circular economy, says our analyst Julie-Christine Denoncourt.
“The more our systems, economies, cities and transportation networks depend on fossil fuels, (...) the more vulnerable people are,” laments our analyst Charles-Édouard Têtu.
“We have a system that works well (…) but things could have gone better over the past year. There were challenges, delays and fewer drop-off sites than expected,” notes Julie-Christine Denoncourt.
For our analyst Charles-Édouard Têtu, “the promise of public funding is a large part of what keeps these kinds of projects alive.”

Participative theatre to help navigate challenging discussions
We're hosting three interactive theatre experiences (in French), where everyday situations come to life on stage and the audience is invited to respond, suggest different outcomes or even step in to change what happens next.
An original, welcoming and thought-provoking activity coming to Trois-Rivières, Chicoutimi and Quebec City. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot.
