@TrueNorthSpice@mastodon.world @cyberlyra@hachyderm.io If you are asking seriously about how to reduce emissions, then yes, I have many suggestions. However, you may not like the answers. The answers are not exclusive to Canada, they apply universally. The two largest factors in consumption of energy are transportation and heating, and if Canada has a higher per capita rate of consumption even compared to the US, it's primarily because of transportation and heating. The most important factor here is density.

@TrueNorthSpice@mastodon.world @cyberlyra@hachyderm.io Again, this is not specific to Canada, it's common everywhere in the world. That's why the natons of the northern hemisphere use the most energy. Canada just happens to be colder than the US, on average. To reduce energy consumption, living in a multiunit, mixed-use building in an urban area were powered transport needs are greatly reduced and infrastructure is shared is by far the lowest environmental impact way of life.
