Feds should invest $50B in green projects to help post-

coronavirus economy: experts
- This article focuses on how we can take the negative outcomes of post Covid -19 and
instead of restoring ourselves to where we previously were but rather work on putting
us in a position to be stronger and utilizing new and sustainable opportunities.
- The Task Force for a Resilient Recovery goal is to come up with actions for governments
to help get Canadians back to work while building a low-carbon economy. The group
enlisted 5 recommendations and 22 specific measures that total in $50 billion in
spending over the five years.
- I think turning the post-pandemic strain within Canada into an effective opportunity to
kick-start building a low – carbon economy is a great way keep our attention on the
future. Implementing strategies from restoring and conserving natural infrastructures to
investments on renewable energy sectors is the focus of my thesis and I believe this is
an important part to not only help grow economy structure but create a better
environment for everyone for years to come. I think it’s also important for upcoming
businesses in order to achieve long term success.
- In order to achieve economic sustainability, we must also focus on sustaining a healthy
environment and society. Once we start changing our habits and communicating the
importance towards a healthy environment and society, economic sustainability
becomes part of the community/lifestyle. It’s a hard pill to shallow because in order for
this to be achieve we must change our current practices.
- A great starting point to change these circumstances is looking at our businesses (both
small-large locally owned companies). Pushing our businesses to achieve ‘economic
sustainability’ will help increase investments, saves on cost, boosts in tax and fee
revenues that increases local economic activity and creates a stable economy.
