What makes a tax green, how to lobby government, and the low down on the Site C dam in BC.

Program Title: Terra Informa 8-17: The Site C Hydro Dam, Green Tax Shifts, and Lobbying Government
Description: This week we investigate the Site C dam that's planned for northern BC. Representatives from BC Hydro, the Wilderness Committee, and Citizens United to Save the Peace all weigh in on the controversial project. We also explore the political hot potato of green tax shifts, and how they could be used to encourage consumers and industry to make greener choices. And we have a little primer on effectively lobbying government, so you can be sure your voice is heard loud and clear in 2011.

Host(s): Steve Andersen
Featured Speakers/Guests: Gwen Barlee - Policy Director for the Wilderness Committee; Dave Conway - BC Hydro's Community Relations Manager for the Site C project Melody Blaney - Spokesperson for Citizens United to Save the Peace (CUSP)
