It's your personal Climate Action Dividend, part of BC's new Carbon Tax that kicks in on July 1st.

I am really happy that my post was helpful in making BCSEA one of the finalists in the ChangeSomething $1000 contest. It would be fantastic if BCSEA won the prize but it is also a bonus that the organization gets some exposure.

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the size of the challenges facing us from an environmental perspective. And many pundits would have us believe that the only solution to our problem is going to be returning to the (literal) Dark Ages - to a world that's uncomfortable, unpleasant and depressing.
