Whitby, ON offsets tailpipe emissions from town vehicles with Fleet to Trees program
Whitby, ON Fleet to Trees Program Tailpipe Emissions
In Progress
Each fleet vehicle purchase by the town is accompanied by trees planted in local parks. Tree purchases are funded by the supplier with the number of trees dependent on the contract size. This program provides direct offsets to emissions from heavy vehicles without the upfront expenses of low-emission vehicles. Whitby created Fleet to Trees as part of its effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80% in the next three decades.
