Excerpts from the 2020 winter issue of Corporate Knights, a financial sustainability magazine…* Kelowna is starting a pilot project to rent e-scooters @ 35 cents / min as an alternative to buying a car. * TRU, Kamloops’ University, has plans to be carbon neutral by 2030 with a 95 % decrease in materials going to landfill by 2025 and by 2025 also having NO single-use coffee cups. * From 2016 – 2019 Canada’s big 5 banks have put over US$ 400 billion into fossil fuel projects, thus guaranteeing a world with runaway climate disruption.
