Tread Lightly

12 Actions for Climate
12 Climate Actions: Tread Lightly

Embrace Sustainable Transportation

As we navigate the challenges of climate change, the phrase “tread lightly” becomes a guiding principle for reducing our environmental impact. In Barrie, private vehicles are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 55% of the total. It’s crucial for us to rethink how we move around our environment.

The Impact of Personal Vehicles on Climate Change

Every journey made by a private vehicle adds to our carbon footprint. Reducing the number of single-occupancy car trips, choosing car-sharing or carpooling options, and maximizing work-from-home arrangements can significantly lower our personal and communal greenhouse gas emissions.

Sustainable Transportation Options

Active Transportation

Walking, biking, and using public transit are excellent ways to reduce emissions while also benefiting your health.

Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Consider the environmental benefits of electric vehicles for your next car purchase. EVs offer a practical solution to reducing emissions and are increasingly viable with advancements in technology and infrastructure.

Travel Mindfully

When flying is necessary, choose to offset your emissions. Engaging in these practices helps minimize your global environmental impact.

Community Initiatives and Events

Living Green regularly collaborates with local organizations like the Electric Vehicle Society, Firebird Community Cycle, and the Downtown BIA to host “Tread Lightly” events. These gatherings provide a platform for EV owners to share their real-world experiences with potential users—discussing everything from range anxiety to the practicality of EVs in cold climates.
