Carbon Neutral Donation Calculator
The District of Saanich has developed and activated an
on-line Carbon Neutral Donation
Calculator that allows Saanich residents to calculate their household carbon footprint. The
user-friendly calculator asks you to list vehicle travel data, air trips, hydro bills, gas and heating
oil usage, and then calculates how many metric Tonnes of greenhouse gases your household has emitted in
a year.
Climate Change Initiatives
The “Sustainable Steps Towards a Greener Saanich” graphic
is a good twenty year snapshot of the key actions Saanich
has taken both independently and in cooperation with other
municipalities and levels of government to address climate
change and energy efficiency. Establishing the first municipal
Environmental Services Section on Vancouver Island in 1994
has helped move Saanich’s response to climate change
forward.
Sustainable Saanich Action Plan
Public feedback is vital in developing
and implementing a Sustainable Saanich Action Plan, so
the project will offer a wide range of community input
opportunities. As a start, we encourage you to
forward your ideas on how Saanich should address climate
change, green house gas reductions, and energy efficiency
