Please develop a real climate change plan to reduce polluting emissions, as well as help people save energy. Allow this to be an exercise in creating a myriad of jobs at various levels in the $26 trillion clean economy. The time to act decisively is now.

It is very relevant and important that Ontario to put a price on pollution, making polluters pay for their emissions. The benefit of this is returning the revenues from what polluters choose to pay, back into the pockets of Ontario taxpayer citizens so they can lower their carbon footprint and have less weather extremes affecting Ontario's economy.

I want legally binding emissions targets in line with our obligations to the Paris Climate Agreement.
I want Ontario to be 100% powered by clean energy by 2050
I want Ontario to end subsidies and handouts for fossil fuel companies and redirect this money to clean energy solutions.

Making quick business profits with careless emissions and no limits on pollution is really not sensible as our weather systems and ecosystems will be irreversibly damaged, together with human and animal health. Our near and distant future matters. Please make these protective actions.
