Sparta Capital Ltd. Responds to Ontarios Climate Change Plan

Calgary, Alberta (FSCwire) - The managers and operators of Sparta Capital Ltd. (TSXV: SAY.H) (the “Corporation” or “Sparta”) say a broad climate change plan should not have to send people into panic mode; that we can lower dependence on fossil fuel without draining pocket books.

Sparta Capital, a Calgary based green technology company with subsidiaries in Ontario is responding to news that the Ontario government is about to spend 7 billion dollars over the next four years on a climate change plan that will impact every aspect of life in the province. According to the Globe and Mail, it’s a strategy that involves dictating how people drive, how they heat their homes and how they might run their businesses. It has some people applauding and others worried about costs.

“All the details of the Ontario plan still need to be revealed, but no matter what the province calls for, we at Sparta know from years of research and consultation across multiple markets and looking at countless innovations, that it doesn’t have to cost a fortune to tackle some of our environmental concerns, thanks to new green technologies,” said Sparta President, Tom Brown.

Although Ontario is formalizing a comprehensive climate change plan in an effort to reduce their provinces carbon footprint, Sparta management and staff point out that many businesses across the country have already put sustainability plans into practice. Surveys, including a recent Innovative Research Group Poll, shows that about 80 percent of Canadians are concerned about climate change. Many people care about global warming, they just don’t know what to do about it.

“Our own client base is growing daily within Ontario alone. Companies big and small want to do their part whether it is by taking small, inexpensive steps or making bigger long-term investments to improve the quality of the environment for the future. They know they can reduce their current carbon footprint and in the long run save money,” added Martin Troughton who is the President of Sparta’s product safety division, Illumineris Inc.

The Illumineris GloBrite^® Photoluminescent safety products, which require no electricity, little maintenance and are environmentally friendly, are being utilized by a number of well-known businesses across the country.

Sparta management is not suggesting that lowering fossil fuel use is easy but they are confident it is the way of the future. Several major industries including shipping, airlines, transport trucking, fashion manufacturing, and farming are working hard to reduce fossil fuel use.
