Tyee Says Green Your Campbell Cash

Filed under: Real-Estate

You’ve potential already witnessed the site and declared where you’ll pass your hundred bucks, but in case you escaped it… the fiesty main journal "The Tyee " are behind a apt campaign to breathe in BC-ers to pass their carbon payola on something utile for the planet.

Green Your Campbell Cash is the project home and, since seting up, thousands of bright world citizens trod up - either to salute their cheque to one of the heeled partner projects to cleanse the air.

Hither’s the Tyee’s mission for the site on with a bit of background:

What Will You Do With Your $100?

This spring, the B.C. government declared North America’s first “revenue inert” carbon tax. In its first year it admits a $100 “Climate Action Dividend” cheque for every British Columbian, with additional for low-toned-income families.

That’s $440 million and the cheques are in the mail. The question persists, what will you do with your $100?

This site is intended to showcase B.C.-based climate action projects to which you can kick in.

Don’t like any of the heeled? Have something creative to bring? And so put forward your ain project until July 15. Either way, hold where you will pass your bread.

The commitments aren’t all sunny with individuals on the left-hand and the correct grumbling about the payouts. Is this pandering? Is this genuinely a sustainable way to effect societal change? Shouln’t the money be reserved to boil down energy costs for doing work families?
