摘要

A plan is under way to get Canada's largest city to cut its personal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It's called One-Tonne Toronto, a community-based project that is part of the national One-Tonne Challenge program. One-Tonne Toronto is one of many projects launched in April, asking Canadians to personally address climate change. But how does a city like Toronto fit into the equation? The average Canadian produces more than five tonnes of GHG emissions per year, which amounts to approximately 28 per cent of Canada's total emissions. But individual emissions account for 47 per cent of Toronto's overall emissions, says Amanda Mongeon, the project coordinator for One-Tonne Toronto. "Toronto will ideally make a huge difference," she says. In fact, Canada likely won't reach its Kyoto mandate without getting individual Torontonians to decrease or change their energy use. Ms. Mongeon works for the Clean Air Partnership (CAP), a group that develops and delivers local market and community-based strategies to reduce energy use and clean the air in an effort to achieve healthy and sustainable local communities. CAP, along with a number of environmental groups in Toronto, have recognized the need for a Toronto-specific initiative.
