Cities Still Work for People


Vancouver is the latest city to take charge of its future.

Not waiting for the federal government to do something positive, Vancouver’s city council voted to go 100% renewable. Vancouver's decision is the latest signpost along the path toward a positive future for people.

It's also one more proof that if things are going to be changed for the better, it most likely will be done on the local government or regional government level. Why? Because local / regional government is where the will of the people is still unavoidably felt and acted upon.

City of Vancouver votes to go 100% renewable

“The Canadian city of Vancouver in British Columbia recently became the first city in the country to aim for 100% renewable energy in the electricity sector — following on a unanimous decision/vote by the City Council there.”

“That vote — which took place on Wednesday, March 26 — explicitly makes it clear that the city’s leaders are in favor of eventually getting all of the city’s electricity needs met via renewable energy generation.”
