A Brief Note On Pulp And Paper Green Transformation Program

Budgets and Planning. To begin with, the program, like the organization, fosters an open and collaborative environment for the process to take place. In this regard, it is, therefore, impossible for any one space or environment to be able to accommodate every conceivable project or application that is “thought up”. Therefore, certain perimeters and guidelines need to be established to assess costs with the program and help determine a course of action in future planning. As we are discussing costs, we assume there is a

Creation of products that reduce energy usage, support sustainable forestry practice, promote cleaner water and less air pollution

Switching from the expensive oil to alternative fuels has moved from a dream to reality. Today, there are dozens of alternatives to oil that are currently available us to be used. One alternative to oil that is being used more today is ethanol. Derived from plant materials, ethanol can be a cheaper, cleaner alternative to the gasoline that our vehicles run off. When going to gas pumps, one will notice that much of the gasoline is up to 10 percent of ethanol. According to our text, most ethanol in the U.S. is made from corn, yet ethanol can be made from any biomes-- including garbage. (Turk & Bensel, 2011)

It offers projects and services fitted to each of the community's necessities. Altogether they serve 2 million people in more than 1000 groups all over Canada and the numbers continue expanding.

Mankind has relied on non-renewable resources for thousands of years, and only recently has it started to take its toll on the environment. Chemists have been experimenting with different types of fuels and adding to gasoline to make it more efficient. This is when ethanol made its debut into the fuel industry, as an additive to gasoline. Ethanol is put into gas as a combatant against water, which can find its way into fuel tanks of vehicles. It reduces the effect that this water has on the health of the vehicle, and as a result increases gas mileage, and also increases the amount of complete combustion. Ethanol consumption has severe drawbacks pertaining to its effect on the environment. Production of ethanol increases the formation of

In Dirk Meissner 's article, “B.C LNG Minister says “We 're Not Afraid” of Federal Environmental Tests” published on January 27th, 2016, the author introduced Rich Coleman, British Columbia 's minister in charge of liquefied natural gas, will be heading to Ottawa to talk about the province 's plan for a multibillion dollar LNG industry. Coleman claims he is confident that British Columbia 's current environmental regulations will meet any existing or new emission standards. But

Ontario has its own creative and effective strategies to combat climate change. One of Ontario’s goal is a low-carbon future. To accomplish this the province started making carbon reductions in 1990 and are on track to reduce carbon emissions by 15% in 2020, 37 per cent in 2030 and 80 per cent in 2050 (Climate Change Action Plan, 2017). Ontario’s target of reducing emissions by 6% was met on schedule in 2014 (Climate Change Action Plan, 2017). One of the reasons this has been made possible is because of Ontario’s investment in carbon reduction. For example, in 2015 Ontario committed $325-million payment to Ontario’s Green Investment Fund to support programs that help households and businesses implement

Its adoption in 1997 and ratification in 2002 furthered the fight against anthropogenic interference with earth’s climate system. Canada’s commitment began with a goal to reduce GHGs by 6% reduction from 1990 levels by 2012, or 461 megatons (Canada and the Kyoto Protocol 2016). In order to achieve these goals, legal requirements expected policies and measures prepared by the participating countries to reduce GHGs, by utilizing all available mechanisms, including joint implementation to earn emissions reduction units (ERU) to be counted towards the target, the clean development mechanism and emissions trading (Kyoto Protocol 1997). Every year, on the date set forth, every participating country was expected to keep track of emissions limits and performance standards, develop spending or fiscal measures, as well their expectation for the next year and results from the previous (E. Canada 2013). When the first reduction timeline was up in 2008, instead of a decrease in emissions, Canada recorded an increase 24.1 percent higher than 1990 levels. The lack of commitment was superseded by the new government’s ‘Made in Canada” effort to push country-unified laws, though no significant changes were

"Transitioning to a Cleaner Future, a Greener Economy" is exceptionally very much tended to by NDP in their platform by expressing that "Canada can no longer afford to stand on the sidelines when it comes to tackling catastrophic climate change and transitioning to a cleaner, greener economy “ .Accordingly, they guaranteed a key ventures $1.5 billion to handle environmental change, decreasing water contamination, enhancing vitality security etcetera. In their stage they have expressed sustainable development as the main right decision for Canada to guarantee long haul success as a country in an

Worldwide we are seeing a devastation of our forests due to paper production. Consumption of wood products has risen 64% since 1961. Globally, pulp for paper, has risen from 40% in 1998, to an expected 60% over the next 50 years. The industry expects that demand to double by 2050. The U.S. consumes 200,000,000 tons of wood products annually, increasing by 4% every year. U.S. paper producers consume 1 billion trees each year (735 pounds of paper for every American). U.S. at 5% of world population consumes 30% of world’s paper. Only 5% of virgin forests remain in the U.S.

The Action Plan contains some excellent proposals, which is supposed to, eventually, reduce Ontario's emissions. For example, the ECO supports the Action Plan's proposed Investments In low-carbon transportation and in clean technology innovations. The proposed green bank (now called the Low Carbon Solutions Deployment Corporation) should help individuals and businesses to improve energy efficiency in buildings, and be a helpful intermediary between building owners/operators and energy efficiency service providers.

Climate change is becoming a major issue in Canada and in order to reduce the impact global emission needs usage to start dropping as soon as possible. Therefore, a carbon tax levy has been recently implemented in Alberta. The tax is based on greenhouse gas emission caused from burning fossil fuels. The main reason the province is enforcing Carbon tax is to potentially reduce emission which will develope a change in our climate. B.C has implemented the Carbon tax levy since 2008, and has seen a positive outcome thus far.

Although Canada is not a leader in sustainable renewable resources, the country is beginning to see its potential, attempting to put their natural resources to good use. In the past, Canada successfully has been able to use some renewable resources to fuel a rather significant amount of energy; however, this is not enough to surpass some of the leading countries. Based on its biological social and economic capacity, Canada should be able to fulfill and meet its goals, lowering their ecological footprint and carbon emissions to help propel the world into a brighter more environmentally friendly future. These renewable resources are available, and have only been used a fraction of their potential. Once the government realizes the capability for

In July 2017, “Toronto City Council unanimously approved City’s long-term path to reduce city-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% by 2050”. A performance goal of 20% per capita GHG emissions reduction by 2035 from 2014 levels was put into effect, based on feasible energy saving opportunities at each facility. Initiatives used to achieve this goal include reducing energy consumption (electricity and natural gas) and increasing the use of renewable energy.
