The best thing we can do is MANDATE green policies, for example I have proposals to:

1) Fix public transport in Kamloops: https://dlk.ca/transport/

2) Require local employers (and the City) to allow telecommuting when it is feasible to do so. The process to allow this has already begun in the Netherlands. This can be accomplished by:

-> Requiring employers to pay "back-office" employees for time spent commuting and pay a (per kilometer) mileage rate for commuting.
-> Applying a surtax to employers who elect not to comply.

3) Require all new (or significantly renovated) buildings to have geothermal or solar heating (or heat pumps). This requirement would be (temporarily) relaxed in order to increase affordability (in residential buildings).

Green policies attract talent!
