In the face of the recent announcement by the U.N. that the global community needs to act immediately to reverse the negative effects of climate change, it makes no sense for the province of Ontario to scrap emission targets and reject the cap-and-trade system.

Here are some suggestions from the Green Party of Canada. Please listen to us! We only have one earth. Every one of us needs to help care for it, but policy makers have the privilege of being able to implement large-scale changes. Please don’t let this opportunity pass by.

I want a real climate change plan to reduce emissions, help people save energy and create jobs in the $26 trillion clean economy.
I want Ontario to put a price on pollution, making polluters pay for their emissions and returning the revenues to the pockets of Ontarians so they can lower their carbon footprint.
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.
