Carbonzero

TORONTO, Sept. 7 /CNW/ - Carbonzero announced today that it will be offsetting the greenhouse gas emissions produced by the Liberal Party of Canada's Leader's Tour for the federal election.

"Carbonzero is pleased to be working with the Liberal Party, in quantifying and neutralizing the greenhouse gas emissions that will be emitted from the upcoming Leader's Tour," said Carbonzero spokesperson Steven Rieck.

"It's encouraging to see politicians are taking responsibility for their emissions and we hope that it will translate to strong action on climate change after the November election."

The offsets purchased by the Liberal Party of Canada will be directed by Carbonzero to a Quebec project which replaces inefficient gas boilers in heating systems with new units employing heating controls and new energy efficient piping systems.

Additionally, the project includes new solar heating collectors and retrofits the buildings to allow heat recovery from domestic wastewater, and switches heat generation systems from natural gas to electricity.
