    I agree with Janna L. Sylvest's comment since its true that to build a regular gasoline or electric vehicle the carbon footprint and environmental impact is huge, and the same goes for almost every item you've surrounded your existence with.....We live in an energy intensive, nature ravaging society/ economy and I would encourage all of you to view and share this brilliant video/website with everyone: http://www.storyofstuff.com/
    A change of path is fundamental but I do support Kody's and Heba Y's idea on incentives for electric vehicles as a transitional idea. An idea that will act as a bridge to a new energy economy an idea that will possibly reduce the huge carbon footprint of the ICU (internal combustion engine). Unfortunately the majority of people will continue buying cars to drive to the local supermarket and will continue buying their Ipods, LCD TV's and appliances because they are addicted to stuff and to a lifestyle that is destroying our planet. We need to find and implement bridge idea's like this one and many many other to transition into a viable and sustainable future.
    Sure transit, bikes and local produce are better and I fully support that, but there will always be those who will drive their vehicles and buy not local. So for that reason I say yes to incentives and yes to electric cars and yes to any other bridge idea out there that will buy us some time...

    A strategy in the Draft Greenest City Action Plan is to give economic development priority to green sectors, and develop a green technology centre and network, along with other specific infrastructure and demonstration projects.
