I don't know anyone who likes punishment, but one strategy always involves the carrot and the stick. That is why we must be pretty realistic. Some entrepreneurs and businesses will not make moves until they are forced to. That is a human thing. Those who have children know it. One strategy involves the carrot and the stick.

As a country, what can Canada get from having products that are in higher demand abroad, mainly because of their low carbon footprint? Let's take the example of a business that wants to produce a pencil abroad. Large chains will ask it how much it is selling the pencil for, how many it can produce and what the carbon footprint of its product is. A reduced environmental footprint of our products becomes a way to sell them better.
