 Climate change affects human health and the health of our environment. Climate
change and global warming lead to:

 * More frequent and extreme weather events
 * Damage to ecosystems and the environment
 * Food insecurity
 * The spread of invasive species
 * Increase in diseases

At Lanark County we recognize the impact that climate change has within our
community. We are tackling the issue of climate change through a Climate Action
Plan and other climate initiatives.


CLIMATE ACTION PLAN

 The County of Lanark is committed to making an impact on climate change through
the development and implementation of the Climate Action Plan. With support from
the Federation of Canadian Municipalities we will reduce our greenhouse gas
emissions using the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) five step milestone
process. This process aims to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions both as a
corporation and in the community.

MILESTONES

Milestone 1: Create a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and forecast for
corporate emissions and community emissions.

Milestone 2: Set an emissions reduction target.

Milestone 3: Develop a local action plan.

Milestone 4: Implement the local action plan or set of activities.

Milestone 5: Monitor progress and report results.


CLIMATE ACTION COMMITTEE

The Climate Action Committee includes a representative from all lower-tier
municipalities and Smiths Falls, as well as two PCP and Climate Network Lanark
representatives. The committee’s mission is to provide strategic direction for
the development of Lanark County’s Climate Action Plan and recommendations for
climate action initiatives in Lanark County by engaging with the community,
climate experts, and stakeholders.

CLIMATE INITIATIVES

If you have any questions about Lanark County’s Climate Action Plan or climate
change initiatives please send us an email or call us at 613-267-1353.


TREE PLANTING

Lanark County’s One Million Tree Program aims to plant one million trees over
the next ten years in partnership with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority
(RVCA). Trees play an important role in carbon capture to reduce our greenhouse
gas emissions throughout the community.

We want to promote tree planting in Lanark County. If you want to plant more
trees on your property, you can get saplings at our tree giveaway or apply to
RVCA’s tree planting program. RVCA’s tree planting program provides subsidized
trees and custom planting plans for landowners with a minimum of 1.25 acres of
suitable land.

Tree Giveaway 2021 – September 25th, 2021 between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. at 99
Christie Lake Road in Perth.


PLASTIC REDUCTION

Lanark County has banned single use plastic bags and straws as of July 1st,
2021. Compliance with the local ban is voluntary. Businesses and residents are
asked to voluntarily make the switch from plastic bags and straws to alternative
reusable products. The local plastic ban applies to:

 * Plastic shopping, checkout, and takeout bags
 * Single use plastic straws

At the end of 2021, the Federal Government is banning selected single use
plastic products. The Federal single use plastic ban will include plastic bags,
straws, stir sticks, six-pack rings, cutlery and food ware as part of their plan
to achieve zero plastic waste by 2030. To achieve this, the federal, provincial,
and territorial governments have adopted a Canada-wide Action Plan on Zero
Plastic Waste.


FOR BUSINESSES

Lanark County is providing local businesses with free bring your reusable bag
(BYRB) window stickers to remind customers to bring their reusable bags when
shopping. Email to receive a free BYRB sticker.

If your business is interested in sponsoring reusable bags, please send us an
email. 


SUSTAINABLY.ECO

Lanark County has joined the Sustainably.eco Strategic Associate Program.
Sustainably.eco aims to connect conscious businesses and people committed to
sustainability by promoting sustainable actions and products through their
platform. Businesses can apply for and be awarded for 12 badges upon fulfilling
the requirements. If your business is interested in becoming a sustainably.eco
member, send us an email.


CLIMATE NETWORK LANARK

The Climate Network Lanark was established by the Lanark County Stewardship
Council to connect, coordinate, facilitate and support collaborative community
efforts to address climate change. The Climate Network Lanark provides advice
