Listen "Is it really better than a carbon tax?"
Episode Synopsis
Over the last 50 years, the Ecology Action Centre (EAC) has been about action, activism, education and change. And they have been effective in shaping government policy and regulation when it comes to our environment. Recently, the Nova Scotia Government announced its plan to address climate change and the greenhouse gas emission targets without imposing a carbon tax on residents. The Premier calls it a made-in-Nova Scotia plan with the most aggressive legislated targets for lowering emissions and greening the grid. But Kelsey Lane is critical. She is the Senior Climate Policy Coordinator with the EAC who says there wasn't a lot of detail or substance in what he's supporting and submitting to the Federal Government. She says targets are not mechanisms and there's no real plan.
