VANCOUVER The road to carbon neutrality will be long, complicated and expensive for B.C. schools, universities, colleges, health authorities and Crown corporations, and time is running out.
The provincial public sector has until 2010 to report its baseline greenhouse gas emissions, reduce those emissions as much as possible and purchase carbon offsets to cover the rest.
The province has provided a range of suggestions to kick-start the initiative, ranging from big-ticket items such as retrofits and more efficient vehicles to small steps such as urging staff to use stairs instead of elevators, turning off lights when not in use and using tap water instead of bottled water.
But many are still struggling to figure out what carbon neutrality really means.
