What is Harper doing with our money? Is green money all green? Oh Canada!?
Is green designated money really going to green projects or infrastructure and other things that should be paid for from other sources?
Check in your area, local news, talk to your officials and read the fine print.
Make sure you know what green funds should be used forby common definiton! Examples;investing in alternative energy, green buildings, innovation and so on.
Does the process that approve the spending of these funds meet those criteria?
How are these gifts of moneies being promoted and does the PR match the use of the money. Example, city name…gets green funding! To go to green projects! then it goes to infrastructure with a token amount to a something that could be considered moderate green innitiative.
I am seeing some things are being approved that are just normal stuff that should be covered by municipalities.
This happened in our community 2007.
So far, we haven’t seen alot of money going to green projects, but, I expect come Monday, we’ll see that change in a hurry. Harper is going to present a “voter friendly” budget on Monday, and I’m betting we’ll see tax incentives for “greening”, money for the environment. Then shortly after this budget, he’s calling a spring election.
I discovered something the other day that sent me into orbit: the majority of blue box material ( in some cities) goes to landfill and not for recycling. Apparently, if there is the slightest amount of waste ina load of recyling, the whole load becomes waste. Check this out in your city….you may be surprised….
Great question!!
