The newspaper La Presse published yesterday and last Saturday notebooks envieronnement . It talks, among other things for house, with its appliances, transportation, and even a sex life greener and more questions that can help everyone reduce the amount of effects of greenhouse gas produced each year.
Here are a few:
- Moratorium on road development
- Incentives for carpooling by employers
- Increase QST for products that do not comply with sustainable development.
- Introduction of a toll around the island of Montreal
And despite the good intentions of some people, we hear today in The Sun , the Harper government refuses to inject money to an e
feasibility study on the construction of a tramway in the city of Quebec. A project, which despite opposition from some people might have reduced the density of traffic around the National Assembly. And in another nation's capital, we read this morning that several traders and merchants are against the idea that the ByWard Market become pedestrian. To hell with the idea of reducing the amount of car while walking in the tourist areas, it should not affect traders. Maybe some people will go shopping elsewhere, but several others will probably find interesting the idea of strolling through the streets of the market without the risk of being hit by a car. And who knows maybe it'll give the idea for tenants to expand their terraces to allow as many people to stroll after having a coffee shop, a bit like the Grande Allée in Quebec City during the hot season.
