It was recently announced that the city of Edmonton will release a plan designed to help the environment, and to ensure the long term energy sustainability of the city.
The plan will contain new targets for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, and also provide residents with ideas of how they can do their part to reduce the consumption of electricity, natural gas, and other energy sources.
In recent years, these levels have risen, likely in part due to a combination of urban and economic growth. It is hoped that these levels will level off and then begin to go down. In time, the plan is for the city to become carbon neutral.
The measures will also help to protect the city’s residents from fluctuations in energy prices due to poor weather or high world market prices.
Some energy-saving ideas have already been put into place. These include the use of low emission vehicles by the city and streetlights that use green LED technology. People are also encouraged to choose efficient models when purchasing new appliances and to reduce their energy consumption during peak hours.
The new ‘energy blueprint’ is expected to be released later this fall.
Becoming more ‘green’ can help to ensure the ability of a city to sustain itself over the long term.
