Visit Copenhagen: World and Carbon Emissions

visit copenhagen: And it has set a goal to become the greenest city in the world, according to National Observer. However, I feel Vancouver is not truly environmentally sustainable compared to some other major cities in the world. Vancouver boasts that 10 per cent of commutes are made by bicycle, the highest rate of any major city in North America. It is not a single initiative that makes Visit Copenhagen sustainable, but a culture of sustainability a paradigm of self sufficiency and internalizing environmental costs, among both citizens and governments. This matters because transportation traditionally makes up around a third of carbon emissions in the world. It permeates every level of society.A true leader in sustainability is Copenhagen where 41 per cent of all commutes are made by bicycle. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
