As I posted previously, I have been keeping track of our family's carbon emissions over the past year. Below is our monthly emissions:
So did we pay more in carbon pollution fees than we got back?
Our total carbon that was subject to the Yukon's carbon fee of $20/tonne from April 2019 to end of March 2020 was 6.9 tonnes of CO2. So that means as a family of three, over the 12 months we paid a total of $138 for the carbon pollution we were directly responsible for.
Over the same period, we got $258 from government in carbon rebates. Thus we made $120 last year from the Yukon's carbon pricing scheme!
Thank you to all you folks leaving your cars idling.
