Youth Climate Leadership Alliance (YCLA)
Volunteer Positions
Who: Youth Climate Leadership Alliance (YCLA) is looking
for volunteers of all ages who are concerned about climate
change, and want to take direct action to help achieve B.C.'s
goal of reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 2007
levels by 33% by 2020, and 80% by 2050
What: The YCLA’s Idle-Free Ambassador Project,
an initiative of the provincial government of British Columbia,
needs volunteers to assist with public outreach, street-level
surveying and data collection on vehicle idling.
This project is a key component of the Provincial Idle-Reduction
Initiative, a province-wide public-awareness campaign aimed
at getting drivers to change their habits in order to decrease
the amount of time spent idling engines. The initiative addresses
issues of climate change, health and air quality, other environmental
concerns and fuel economy.
When: Summer 2008 and beyond.
Where: The following regions in British Columbia: Sea-To-Sky
Corridor, Metro Vancouver, the Cariboo region, Courtenay-Comox,
the Skeena region, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen,
Prince George and the Kootenays.
Why: Research indicates that Canadian motorists idle
their vehicles for an average of five to 10 minutes a day.
Idling is a health risk, wastes fuel and money, contributes
unnecessarily to engine wear and generates needless GHG emissions.
If every driver of a light-duty vehicle in Canada avoided
idling for just five minutes a day, we would collectively
save 1.8 million litres per day of fuel, $1.7 million in fuel
costs everyday, 4500 tonnes of GHG emissions daily, and 8
tonnes of smog daily.
Changing people’s habits is fundamental to the success
of the Idle-Free Ambassadors project. It is individual action
that will make the greatest impact on this collective problem.
Idling is also a gateway issue: once people begin to change
their driving habits, they may become more aware of, and open
to, further actions to address air quality and climate change.
Required Qualifications:
- an eagerness to take action on climate change and air
quality issues.
- a willingness to learn and teach basic information about
vehicle emissions and the idle-free ambassador program
- ability to record data and approach members of the public
in a professional manner
To apply please send an email stating your name, contact
information and the area you want to volunteer in to idlefree@gov.bc.ca
For More Information:
