Canada's carbon rebate 

Take action this week

Trudeau tells Canadians:

Get money back from

the carbon price

As we continue to push for a carbon fee and dividend here in the United
States, carbon pricing is thriving in other parts of the world. Canadian
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently took to social media

[link removed]

to inform residents in four provinces that they had received money back
from the federal carbon price.

Here's what Trudeau had to say:

"If you live in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, or Alberta, you
probably noticed a deposit in your bank account today. It's called the
Climate Action Incentive. It's how we make sure that we put money in
your pockets while we put a price on pollution. It actually puts more
money back in the pockets of millions of Canadians, and it's a small
part of our big plan to fight climate change, keep our air clean, make
life more affordable, and grow the economy for everyone."

The average Canadian is coming out ahead under Canada's fee and dividend
policy. A report shows

that the carbon price applied in 2021 was $555, but the average rebate
was $804. The current carbon fee in Canada is $65 per ton and will
increase $15 each year until it reaches $170 in 2030.

this policy here at home.

Featured chapter: CCL William & Mary

College students have plenty on their plates already — but some of them
are also taking on the task of pushing a carbon fee and dividend in
Congress! The CCL chapter at the College of William & Mary has kicked
off a simple, powerful sign campaign conceptualized by chapter member
Emily O'Keefe. Students hold up signs that identify carbon fee and
dividend as an effective climate policy and include a link for people to
write to their representatives. Folks at William & Mary and beyond are
getting creative about where they put their signs — on laptops, in dorm
windows, or simply propped up in public — and then sharing their shots
on Instagram

.

Their efforts were recently profiled in The Flat Hat

[link removed]

, the school's newspaper. "I believe as young people we have a lot of
power, because adults in office are much more likely to listen to us,"
says Corina Chang, who co-leads the chapter with Philip Ignatoff.

"The idea is really taking off," says Steffanie Munguia, CCL's Student
Engagement Manager. "It will be a focus for our higher ed chapters
during Earth Month." Great work, CCL William & Mary!
