West Vancouver residents are being asked to help make the grass greener on their side by reducing emissions to achieve carbon neutrality across the district.

To get more people on board with making environmentally conscious choices, the Community Energy & Emissions Plan Working Group will host a pair of open houses in the West Vancouver Community Centre atrium. The sessions will focus on ways residents can reduce their daily carbon footprint in areas like housing, transportation, land use and waste reduction.

While the dedication of forest land to create Whyte Lake Park two years ago helped the district improve its status in reducing corporate greenhouse gas emissions, the community is looking for more to be done by the residents and members of local government.

Sessions are from 9 a.m. to noon and from 4 to 7 p.m. today and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 12.
