    Building labeling and energy audits will help building owners and occupants understand how their buildings are performing and where they are losing heat. While we may not implement the “zoom in” program per se, these other tools included in the draft Greenest City Action Plan address same issue.

    The City supports Metro Vancouver’s plans to ban food scraps from the incinerator and landfills by 2015. The City will collaborate with Metro Vancouver to develop and implement a plan to ensure apartments, condos, businesses and institutions have access to food scraps collection programs before the ban comes into effect.

    This is a very important initiative. The book on Nature Deficit Disorder by Louv and many groups that have sprung up since can inform on the importance of this initiative to have future generations be more in touch with natural systems. This will ensure that future generations better understand the linkages between human and natural systems, and have a stronger cultural desire to keep them.
