正文(英文) | News releaseFebruary 11, 2020 – Peterborough, Ontario Taking action on climate change is key to succeeding in the clean growth economy. Cities and towns have increasingly become leaders in climate action and are responsible for decisions in important areas, such as waste collection. That’s why the Government of Canada is working directly with cities to cut pollution, reduce waste, and create more jobs for Canadians. Today, the Member of Parliament for Peterborough–Kawartha, the Honourable Maryam Monsef, on behalf of the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, announced up to $6 million to support a City of Peterborough climate change initiative that is equivalent to removing 25,000 cars from the road for one year. This funding will support the development of a centralized composting centre that will divert food and waste to a new, modern facility. It is projected that it will prevent approximately 32,000 tonnes of organic debris from entering the landfill each year and will support local job creation. Furthermore, the City of Peterborough has been running a small, successful, pilot Green Bin program for a number of years. This funding will support the expansion of this program city-wide. The funding comes from the Partnerships stream of the Government of Canada’s Low Carbon Economy Challenge, which invests in projects that reduce carbon pollution, save money, and create good jobs. Canada’s climate plan puts Canada on track for the biggest reduction in carbon emissions in our country’s history. Emissions in 2030 are projected to be 227 million tonnes lower than projected before the Pan-Canadian Framework was adopted. That plan is just the beginning. The Government will continue to bring forward new and enhanced measures to ensure that Canada reaches it’s goal of being net-zero by 2050. Quotes
