Friday, November 20, 2015, 8:55 AM -   North Vancouver, B.C. is thought to be the first city in the world to add mandatory climate change stickers to its gas pumps.



The bylaw was passed unanimously by city council in a vote Monday night. It was championed by Our Horizon, a not-for-profit that called the vote an "historic global first."



Our Horizons founder Rob Shirkey told the CBC other Canadian and U.S. cities are supporting similar warnings, but North Vancouver is the first city to make the labels mandatory.



Officials hope to have the stickers on all city gas pumps by early 2016. Gas stations will need to maintain them in order to keep their business licence.



"The message is that burning fossil fuels causes climate change and ... to add a positive spin, here are some tips when using your automobile on how to make it more fuel efficient," North Vancouver Mayor David Musatto told the CBC.



City officials hope the warnings will make people more aware of the link between burning fossil fuels and climate change while inspiring them to conserve fuel.



"I couldn't live without my vehicle, but I can certainly reduce the number of trips I do use it for," Musatto said.



City staff are in the process of designing the stickers, which will be approved by council within the next few months.

Remember, doubling the population also doubles the gas emissions too, because now there's at least twice as many consumers using up twice as many of the planet's resources including gas.

Sorry to be so blunt Fash,  but had ta tell it like it is.



If we want to cut the growth of one number, have to cut the other in half too.

Won't making those stickers generate emissions?

All Western governments are engaged in war with average people. The excuse is climate change.

I think we are bored here in Canada and have to pass stupid bylaws because we have nothing serious to deal with.

Thanks a lot for drinking the Kool Aid we're being force fed. If it was up to dick heads like you we'd all be living in sod huts and have a lifespan of about 45 years of age which means you'd already be history. Remember dunce, your shoes, your bike and the bus have petroleum in them.
