June 2nd to the 8th is National Environment Week and this year’s theme is “Generation Restoration.” Last year, 180 million beverage containers, or 70 per cent, were diverted from landfills through recycling programs in the province. Newfoundland and Labrador is ahead of other jurisdictions with more than 91 per cent of electricity sourced from renewable sources. Since 2021, we have provided more than $17 million to over 2,600 homeowners to transition from oil to electric heating. The Electric Vehicle Incentive has helped us achieve over 1000 per cent growth in electric vehicles with an average of two new electric vehicles on the road each day. As of 2022, greenhouse gas emissions have fallen to 8.6 million tonnes which are the lowest emissions on record since 1996.
