But the scientific community’s near-unanimous conclusion is that, if left unchallenged, climate change will make life very difficult for humans and drive many other species to extinction. Now is the time to take action.

Addressing climate change requires concerted effort by individuals, businesses and, most importantly, governments. By combining personal action with regulations, market mechanisms and incentives, Ontario will dramatically reduce greenhouse gasses and start to turn back the clock on climate change.

Every purchase of a toothbrush, a vegetable, an automobile or a house is an economic decision that influences climate change. Simple changes to our tax structure will make it easier for businesses and consumers to modify their lifestyles and purchasing habits.

We believe this can best be achieved by shifting taxes off climate change-neutral choices and onto climate change-inducing choices.We think Ontarians should pay for what they burn, not for what they earn. No new additional taxes are needed to address climate change.

This is the Green Party of Ontario’s climate change plan; this is our solution to the climate crisis. After reading this document, we think you’ll agree that our plan best addresses the needs of Ontarians now and well into the future. Together, we can face this challenge. Together, we can build a vibrant, sustainable economy in Ontario.

Together, we will succeed. For a strong, healthy and sustainable society,

Frank de Jong, Leader
Green Party of Ontario
