[All] Environmental questions sent to municipal candidates

[Susan Koswan]

Hi GRENers,

Just sent these questions this afternoon to all the candidates, except 
for school board which I just don't have time for. We will need to post 
the responses on the GREN website and also share with others. Let me 
know if and how you can help do that.

Thanks,

Susan K

Dear Candidate,

We respect and appreciate your decision to compete in this municipal 
election--an important and accessible yet underappreciated level of 
government. Please reply to this email with your responses to the 
following questions by*October 7, 2022* to allow us time to share before 
election day.

  1. Cities/urban centres are responsible for 80% of our greenhouse gas 
emissions. What is in your plans to reduce that?

2. What are your plans to support a 15-Minute City where everything we 
need can be accessed by foot or bike in that time and reduce vehicle use?

3. The Doughnut Economy <https://www.kateraworth.com/doughnut/> is a 
working model that addresses both social and environmental issues to 
create a livable future for everyone without exceeding Earth’s ability 
to provide. What are your priorities to meet these challenges?

Optional question: Do you have campaign donations from 
speculators/developers and, if so, what percentage of your funding?

Sincerely,

Susan Koswan for Waterloo Region Elections
