Greenhouse Gases: Immigration

Carbon Footprint Dept: The results came in part from Ottawa's ecoEnergy Retrofit program, which provided the Clark family with $4,100 in rebates after they spent tens of thousands of dollars for improvements that included a high efficiency furnace, better insulation and new windows, according to Calgary Herald. Environmentalists say for those clamouring for federal action on climate change, there was little to celebrate in Tuesday's budget and greg Clark's centuryold Elbow Park home is warmer, cheaper to heat, and responsible for less greenhouse gases after energy upgrades were completed last year. "'Let's do it now before this program runs out,' that was the rationale," said Clark, a 40-year-old management consultant. "It had a bigger impact in terms of the carbon footprint than I thought." As reported in the news.
