MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

The 2014-2015 fiscal year was a milestone for Pollution Probe – in every sense of the word.

In an operational sense, the organization achieved historic levels of financial stability, capacity and human talent. As a result, new funding raised by the organization will be more effectively and productively applied to advancing the cause for which Pollution Probe was originally founded: to improve human health and well-being through policy that results in positive, tangible environmental change.

Strategically, the principal domains of Pollution Probe’s influence and expertise became more clearly delineated over the past year: sustainable transportation systems, energy literacy, and a newly launched program focused on human health.

On transportation, for example, Pollution Probe’s ground-breaking research program on electric vehicles has been driving a fundamental rethink of how this new technology should be integrated into the existing energy infrastructure to achieve net benefits in terms

of air quality and climate change. At the same time, our efforts to measurably improve energy literacy in Canada expanded significantly under the Energy Exchange brand.

But perhaps most exciting is the addition of the new Human Health Program. Drawing on Pollution Probe’s balanced and proven approach to research, education and policy development, this new program will focus on the environmental determinants of human health, including emerging issues in toxicology and ecosystem management. Central to this program is a new public engagement initiative – the Healthy Communities Campaign – that will promote understanding of the linkages between environmental health and human health, with a special focus on actions that can be taken to safeguard children’s developmental health.

The new Human Health Program rounds out Pollution Probe’s ongoing, established areas of work on transportation and energy. It also represents a return to our roots, taking action on environmental issues

that touch people where they live – in their homes, places of work and within their communities. Expect to hear much more about this program in the year to come!

Not since the early days of Pollution Probe more than 45 years ago has the world seemed as poised as it is now for an environmental renaissance. I believe that in the next two decades we will experience fundamental changes in policies and practices that will put us on the path to a decarbonized global economy. And I believe that we will also see an emerging recognition of how new toxic substances in the environment are substantially contributing to the rise in chronic disease, requiring innovative approaches to chemicals management. Pollution Probe’s key program areas perfectly position it to play an instrumental role in advancing the interests of Canadian society as this seismic global shift takes hold.

Your generous and enlightened support of Pollution Probe is making all of this possible. On behalf of today’s generation and of the generations of Canadians yet to come, thank you!


THE FIRST GREEN WAVE

Did you know that Pollution Probe was founded at the University of Toronto in 1969, and that it played a key role in the development of environmental activism in Ontario and across Canada? This story is told in Ryan O’Connor’s recently released book, The First Green Wave: Pollution Probe and the Origins of Environmental Activism in Ontario (UBC Press). Based on sixty-seven interviews and extensive archival research, this book examines the

development of the environmental activist community in Toronto, beginning with the broadcast of The Air of Death, a documentary about air pollution, on the CBC in 1967, through the restructuring of the environmental movement in the 1980s. Administrative support for the book was provided by the Pollution Probe Foundation. For more information about The First Green Wave, including how you can purchase a copy, visit ryanoconnor.ca.

“ Ryan O’Connor has not only captured the facts

regarding the early modern environmental

movement in Canada, but the spirit of those days

as well .... A breezy read, for seminal times.”

– Monte Hummel, OC, President emeritus, World Wildlife Fund Canada

“ Canada’s environmental movement has a rich

and significant history but has very few historians

who have taken the time to chronicle and

preserve that history. In this lively account, Ryan

O’Connor has contributed enormously toward

remedying that gap. Pollution Probe was one

of the very first of Canada’s environmental

groups. Those early activists charted a course

that many still follow – and more should.”

– elizabeth May, OC, leader of the Green Party of Canada


Consider that it is projected that by 2030, 60% of the global population will dwell in cities. Simply making cars more energy efficient and building more public transit will not be enough to address the sustainability of transportation in the 21st century.

2014 april–2015 March. EMAP studies and reports were completed for the utilities serving Ottawa, London, Hamilton and St. Catharines, Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan, and Calgary and Edmonton. As a result, those municipalities received information they need to prepare their grids for the increased integration of electric vehicles (EVs) in the coming years.

2015 January. Pollution Probe and Hydro Ottawa are pleased to announce the release of Electric Mobility Adoption and Prediction (EMAP) – Ottawa, a major new report on the use of electric vehicle technology in Ottawa.

adoption of Fuel-saving technologies in the Freight sector

researCH

2014 July–december. The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) and Pollution Probe collaborated on a study to better understand the costs, performance levels, and current adoption rates of fuel-saving technologies for trailers in the Canadian trucking sector.

Globally, the on-road freight sector is responsible for a growing share of the fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector.

Various studies suggest that in the next 10 to 20 years, heavy-duty vehicles will overtake passenger cars as the leading contributor of climate-forcing emissions from transportation worldwide.

This study compiled compelling data from in-depth interviews with Canadian trucking sector leaders that will help to make the business case for the broader adoption of fuel-saving technologies for trailers.

“ This research has a pivotal role as policy-makers in

the US and Canada assess the extent to which

a greenhouse gas regulatory program for trailers

can accelerate the deployment of proven cost-

effective technologies for trailers and incentivize

the development of future generations of products

for improved efficiency,” said Ben Sharpe, Senior

Researcher and Canada Lead at the ICCT.

Finding Worth in WasteresearCH

2014 april–august. The recovery of energy from waste, using modern technologies, will have positive environmental and economic impacts across Ontario’s cement sector and will help the province become a hub for sustainable development and cutting-edge approaches to waste management.

Pollution Probe’s Report on Energy from Waste in Ontario’s Cement Sector: Finding Worth in Waste urges the Government of Ontario to consider energy from

waste as an option for cement producers to help meet the province’s waste diversion ambitions while ensuring stringent environmental protection and maintaining the priorities of waste reduction at the source, material reuse and recycling.

energy exchange eduCatiOn

Energy Exchange began operations in 2014. Dedicated staff and a network of experts worked together to develop the key initiatives that will form the foundation of Energy Exchange‘s ongoing success in measuring energy literacy levels among priority audiences across Canada and designing effective learning experiences that enhance energy systems understanding. Foremost among these initiatives was a comprehensive survey of Canadians, conducted in collaboration with the University of New Brunswick, Cornell University and the University of Alberta, to baseline energy literacy levels.

As well, a series of consultative forums with decision-makers in federal, provincial and municipal governments, as well as from Canada’s manufacturing sector, were held to identify and evaluate the nation’s most urgent energy literacy needs.

The volunteer Learning Council, central to the governance of Energy Exchange, was also established this fiscal year.

2014 november. Pollution Probe and Student Energy, an organization focused on energy literacy and based in Calgary, signed a memorandum of understanding to work together toward a shared goal of measurably improving the energy literacy of all Canadians.

EDUCATION

“ We truly believe that given energy’s

importance for prosperity and quality

of life, the public benefits greatly

from an enhanced understanding

of energy systems, challenges and

opportunities,” said Kali Taylor, Executive

Director of Student Energy. “Together,

we can achieve far more than we ever

could apart, and this is why we

are thrilled to collaborate with Pollution

Probe. We want to push the needle

on energy literacy.”
