Earth Day is here again!
Sometimes the climate crisis can be so discouraging, and the scale of what needs to be done can seem daunting. But there are always positives to focus on.
We must support a Just Transition and we must invest in green infrastructure. We must look after workers whose livelihoods are at the core of the transition. Canada Post can be a better place to work; we can improve our work and working conditions while we green the fleet, green our buildings, and expand our services.
Canada Post Corporation and the federal government have indicated that they want to take on these environmental and social challenges. CPC is exploring financial services – which helps support the public postal service’s long-term financial self-sufficiency – and looking for ways to reduce emissions from buildings and vehicles. The recent deal between the federal Liberals and NDP has the potential to eliminate financing for polluters, will focus on Just Transition legislation, and includes a role for crown corporations.
