The BC Government has made a commitment to being carbon neutral, with the public building requirements recently expanding to including schools and hospitals, as part of the Carbon Neutral Capital Program. Businesses and individuals are also making the choice to offset emissions, purchase renewable energy credits and strive for carbon neutrality. But what does it all mean? And is it an effective measure in combating climate change and supporting clean tech developments?
