There are a host of strategies to undertake here from adopting policies to be less car dependent, the renovation and promotion of Transit initiatives. I would introduce campaigns to lower energy usage at all municipal buildings and promote the development and installation of green energy technologies. Then biggest impact, however, may come from public awareness campaigns associated with partnership engagement with the city’s primary resource based industries and global movements. Furthermore, an engagement with developers and planning to incorporate ‘green’ concepts on all new development – as in European cities. Let’s not miss these opportunities. |

City fleet can be reduced and city vehicles should be changed over to hybrids at a faster rate than is currently happening. City should reduce energy use wherever possible in city buildings. |

A lot of the initiatives as I have outlined in the above survey will reduce our collective carbon foot print in Sudbury and ultimately do our part in reducing green house gases. Planning for smart growth by using existing infrastructure and encouraging infilling as much as possible will result in densification. We could then have a more sustainable transportation system with more people walking, cycling, using public transport and resulting in shorter automobile trips. |
