What will the Plan look like in Action?
Some of the most successful Climate Action
Plans don't focus on greenhouse gases at all, but instead focus on other
important priorities of communities, such as; air pollution, traffic
congestion, economic development, and quality of life. Taking charge of these kinds of issues has
the added benefit of also reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For example, Grand Forks has focused their reduction
targets on improving alternative transportation options for people, such as
improved cycling lanes and walking paths.
The Kootenays are improving the efficiency of local government fleet
vehicles, saving money, and reducing greenhouse gases. The City of Dawson Creek has installed solar water
heating systems on two municipal buildings.
The City of Yellowknife
has started a centralized composting program - free for residents. There are many possibilities - so come and
help design the Climate Action Plan that's going to work for Fort
Nelson.
