Via MichelinGreenpeace is an independently funded organization that works to protect the environment. We challenge government and industry to halt harmful practices by negotiating solutions, conducting scientific research, introducing clean alternatives, carrying out peaceful acts of civil disobedience and educating and engaging the public.
Recognizing the need for reducing air pollution, including greenhouse gases, from the electricity sector, The Ontario Clean Air Alliance (OCAA) was formed in August, 1997. The OCAA is a diverse, multi-stakeholder coalition of approximately 90 organizations. Our members include cities, health associations, environmental and public interest groups, public utilities, unions, faith communities and individuals.
