"Governments can no longer keep climate policy and social policy in separate silos. It's time for an integrated, modernized approach that aims to achieve equity as much as efficiency." #CarbonDown #CommunityUp #Affordability

💡@ClimateInstit showcases the affordability and efficiency of #CleanEnergy in their new study, revealing that Canadians will save on energy costs when they switch to #renewables to power their homes, vehicles, and businesses. 💰
This summer, many Canadians are worried about paying their bills.
If Canada decarbonizes its economy, consumers will spend less and less on their energy bills– 6% less by 2035, according to analysis from @ClimateInstit

I’ll take this one step further. A lot of people can’t afford cars and *need* to use their feet, transit, or bikes to get around. They deserve safe, convenient, reliable, and comfortable passage just as much as the next person. We owe it to them to provide it. Everywhere.

Let's ensure the EV wave reaches Canada's population, including urban tenants and condo-dwellers. It's critical to our #climate targets. We're urging the federal government to invest in EV-ready multi-family buildings in #Budget2024.
