What can individual Canadians do to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions?
All Canadians need to get involved in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases that cause climate change, as well as air pollution. You can do your part by: • Making use of the Government’s public transit tax credit and increasing your use of public transit to help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution in our cities, and greenhouse gas emissions that impact on our climate. • Consulting the ecoENERGY for Personal Vehicles program to help you choose more eco-friendly vehicles. • Taking advantage of the ecoENERGY Retrofit program to help Canadians retrofit their homes, buildings and industrial processes. • Taking advantage of the ecoAUTO Rebate Program to get between $1,000 and $2,000 if you buy or enter into a long-term lease of a new fuel-efficient vehicle. • Supporting green business and encouraging non-green business to switch to environmentally friendly practices. • Purchasing energy efficient products and vehicles and alternative fuels like ethanol and biodiesel.
