Ecological Vancouver
Welcome to ecovan.com! Learn about your impact on the environment and how your city is changing to become a world leader in ecologically-safe living. Learn about your personal history in producing carbon dioxide. See how Vancouver is affected by carbon and how it wants to operate within the next fifty years. Learn how to create a cleaner city and how you can improve the lives of yourself and those around you.
We live in an oil-dominated world. Our entire society has evolved around it for decades. The most common use of fossil fuels resulting in carbon dioxide emissions are vehicles. Recently, there has been a start of a shift towards electric vehicles, but most people still use gas-powered cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Due to CO2 emission levels and climate change, it is very important that we know how we are contributing to the CO2 crisis. But many don't know how they are affecting their environment. So calculate your clean mileage, distance traveled without creating greenhouse gas emissions (biking, walking, etc.), and see how many grams of CO2 you've alleviated from the atmosphere!
Vancouver has the goal of being a world leader in clean-living. Eventually, we want our city to be entirely sustainable. See how our CO2 emissions have decreased over the years and the progress we're making as a city. Also, learn how you help by using green-alternatives to travel and how you can help save the planet. We still have a lot of work to do, but we are on our way to living a sustaiable lifestyle.
