The Maple Ridge City Council needs our support to pass a critical piece of climate policy.
If approved, the Zero Carbon Step Code will ensure that new buildings are constructed to run on clean electricity instead of polluting methane gas – tackling one of the biggest sources of climate pollution in cities. But predictably, Fortis reps are showing up in communities across BC fighting tooth and nail to block this policy and keep hooking up gas lines to new homes, so Council needs to hear from as many people as possible before the vote.
Emissions from homes are the third-largest source of carbon pollution in BC - approximately 12% of climate pollution - and indoor gas appliances also hurt our health, so switching from fracked gas to clean electricity should be an obvious step. Already over two dozen municipalities from Langley to Burnaby to Nanaimo have taken the lead by passing low carbon construction policies – it’s time for Maple Ridge to join them.
