TORONTO, ON - Canada and nations around the world will feel the full force of the Kyoto Protocol when it comes into effect on February 16, 2005. Discover how Canada is working to adhere to the guidelines of The Protocol by reducing greenhouse emissions 6% by 2012 at the upcoming Environment and Energy Conference (EECO 2005), taking place May 25-27, 2005 in Toronto.

The Kyoto Protocol places stricter demands on developed countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5.2% below 1990 levels. Businesses and consumers are now faced with the responsibility of protecting the country's environmental and economic resources.

EECO 2005 addresses the growing concern of global warming and discusses methods that will help reduce the levels of GHGs in the atmosphere and protect precious industries threatened by climate changes. At EECO 2005, learn about clean energy technologies and discover ways to reduce emissions, change lifestyles, and improve industrial environmental performance. Learn more about the challenges still ahead.

EECO 2005 is one of the most powerful economic and business summits in the Great Lakes region, bringing together key players from the local economy to discuss issues critical to corporate competitiveness in the area. This area, which includes Ontario, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, New York, and Pennsylvania, accounts for 75% of Canada's manufacturing output, 12% of the world's GDP and over $200 billion in Canada-US trade.

The plenaries and informative sessions provide a starting point for the four key themes of the conference: Eco-Efficiency, Environment and Energy, Cities, and Canada-US Dialogue. The conference will also feature the 4th Annual GLOBE Awards for Environmental Excellence, sponsored by the GLOBE Foundation and The Globe and Mail, and presented at the EECO Gala Luncheon.

To learn more about ways to manage the "modern" problem of global warming and the economic and environmental issues affecting the Great Lakes region of Canada and the US, take part in EECO 2005.

EECO is running May 25-27, 2005 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Canada. For more information, please visit www.eeco2005.com.
