Peter Love: Climate Change, Conservation and What You Can Do
Peter Love will speak about climate change as the most important environmental issue to face mankind. He will highlight the critical role conservation plays, the benefits of conservation and its challenges. He will refer specifically to what you can do at home, at work and in school. There will be lots of time for questions so use this as a chance to ask those questions about energy that have been nagging you for years.
Continental breakfast will be served.
Peter is a Hydro One Distinguished Research Fellow at CUE. A widely respected environmentalist with 25 years in senior management focused in the energy and electricity sector, Mr. Love is also both an Adjunct Professor at York University in the Faculty of Environmental Studies and First President of the Energy Services Association of Canada, a new organization that promotes government policies and regulatory support for more energy efficiency, renewable energy, and infrastructure renewal projects.

In 2005, Mr. Love was recruited as Ontario's first Chief Energy Conservation Officer with the Ontario Power Authority where his leadership contributed to Ontario achieving a five percent peak demand reduction by the end of 2007. Throughout his career, he has made a significant impact on consumer and government acceptance of conservation and sustainability policy. Mr.Love was a co-founder of EnerQuality Corporation, created to deliver the R-2000 and Energy Star New Homes programs, and started his career with the Pollution Probe team that developed the "3 R's": Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
