Protection and Reforestation of the Boreal Forest

The Canadian boreal forest represents not only a huge bio-mass which removes carbon from the air, but also causes the earth beneath it to act as a huge holding pool for carbon. Large areas in the Canadian boreal forest have been clear cut, burned, or have succumbed to the spruce pine beetle. Replacing these trees is important to maintain and grow the forest’s current ability to remove carbon from the air and to store it in the earth. It should be noted that Carbon Zero Canada doesn’t pay to have trees planted in areas where they will be cut down again, but where they will be protected for decades to come.

Wind, Solar, and Hydro Power

The best ways to deal with climate change due to greenhouse gasses is simply not to put those gasses in the atmosphere at all. We seek out zero emission power source projects to not only lower current carbon emissions levels, but to guarantee a clean power supply for our future.

Technology Replacement

Replacing an older, mid-size sedan, with a new compact car can have a reduction in carbon emissions of over 50%. A new energy star washing machine can decrease energy consumption more then 75% over certain older washer models. Lending assistance to those Canadians more economially vulnerable to replace outdated and inefficient technology makes a large and immediate difference in Canada’s overall greenhouse gas emission.
