Summarization
There are various sources of carbon pollution in Vancouver, of which 55% are burning natural gas in buildings, 40% burning gas and diesel in transportation. To achieve target goals, certain actions and policies need to be adopted by the new Council. Fire Hall 17 was recently built with PHI certified windows and building materials, but there is irony in action taken by the Council and the Parks Board. 4-6 homes may be allowed on lots throughout the city, while various stratas are considering heat pump retrofits. This Valentine's day, people are rallying for climate action and electric bicycles and scooters are being ignored by the Council when looking at electric vehicle uptake. Scientists are warning of the loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets and a rapid acceleration of sea level rise.
