Climate Action in Creston

The proposed Creston Climate Action Plan is the Town of Creston's roadmap to mitigating climate change and achieving an environmentally sustainable, resilient, and emission-free future. The Plan aligns with the Town's commitment of transitioning to 100% renewable energy by 2050. The Plan identifies five major action areas or “Big Moves" to guide us on this path . These areas include: Transportation, Buildings & Infrastructure, Waste, Leadership & Education, and Adaptation & Resiliency.

To ensure the Plan meets the vision and needs of the community, the results of this survey will be used to refine the draft Plan, and be presented to Council for their consideration prior to Plan adoption.

Survey closes July 13th, 2023 at 11:59PM. All survey participants will be entered into a draw to win an Ecobee Smart Thermostat with installation service. The winner will be randomly drawn on July 18th.

Before we get started, a common term used throughout this survey is Greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet. The main greenhouse gases responsible for the greenhouse effect include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour (which all occur naturally), and fluorinated gases (synthetic). Human activities are changing the planet's natural greenhouse effect. Too much of these greenhouse gases can cause the earth to heat up, creating unstable climate patterns, resulting in unpredictable weather patterns and extreme weather events.
