I just read about Canada’s cool Retire Your Ride program that allows people to trade in their old, higher polluting car for a newer, somewhat less polluting car. Hold up, wrong program! Wrong country!
Actually, Canada’s program is much cooler than that — it helps reduce the number of vehicles on the road and encourage alternate means of transportation by providing vouchers for bicycles or public transportation. Neat idea, eh?
Click on the link above to find out more about the program — you can even view the presentation in French, if that’s your thing.
This kind of makes me wish I were Canadian — depending on how today goes, maybe we’ll move there.
