Vancouver’s Green
When it comes to stories about global warming, you probably use to hearing bleed predictions, but there is some good news and comes from Vancouver. Our environment report Lisa Johnson has the story.
You might not know it, stuck at rush hour traffic. But this city is achieving something the mayor says only handful of the world to pulled off. “I’m very proud of being Copenhagen and representing a city here in Vancouver that has walked its talk when comes to fighting climate change.” One reason Canada’s getting so criticized in Copenhagen is that the country’s green house gas emission just keep rising, but here in Vancouver even though emission rose for a decade after 1990, they’re now falling. So now staff think Vancouver is on track to be 6% lower than 1990 level’s in two years, which it the Kyoto target.
So how is Vancouver doing it? Your garbage’s playing a role. Running trash was at least pulling off green house gas. That messy now is cached use for energy. It’s also been a shifted how we are get around. The mayor mentioned walking the top. Well committing by foot’s gone up by 44%, since the early 90’s. Bike riding and transit use are up and 10% fewer cars are on the road. The result of decades of decision to built the depth walkable city, but still growing. “We’ve managed to accumulate throw just step fast pursuiting not the fruit on the ground, some low hanging fruit maybe fruit we have to get step ladders to reach.” And the city is still reaching. Just sign on with the local company Paul’s Energy to monitor natural gas and electricity usage, municipal building and look for efficiencies. Consular’s talking about the subcity for pulse partner that work of charging station for electric cars. All of the improvements could give a future mayor some more green and bright rights.
