Some people tend to focus on the terrifying realities that is global warming, to scare people into recycling and saving energy. Although the facts of what is happening to our globe are earth-shattering (no pun intended… or was it?) let’s take a moment to realize that we are doing an amazing job in working towards a greener future.
Did you know that Vancouver has the lowest per-capita carbon footprint of any major North American city? Our green house gas emissions are actually on a DECLINE, and we have the greenest neighbourhood in North America (South East False Creek, Olympic Village). Please excuse me as I burst with pride. I love reading about other cities who are aiming for a greener globe and mention Vancouver as the city to beat. For example, in the article Future City: Seattle on the Threshold Alex Steffen wrote regarding Seattle:
“It’s true that it retains a vibrant central core, that it has had neighborhood planning since 1993, and that in general Seattle is more and more compact. Yet it is no Vancouver, where new development has brought the sustainability benefits of compact community to much of the city.”
People noticed when we set our sights even higher and made an action plan to have Vancouver be the greenest city in the world in 2020. I’m excited to find out our progression and to keep you updated. Check back soon!
