Fuel pumps to get 'cigarette packet-style' climate change warnings in Canada

The labels will be found on top of fuel pumps, acting as an informative and suggestive notice to fuel users in order to help climate change.

North Vancouver is thought to be the first city in the world to have climate change labels on fuel pumps.

There was a unanimous vote passed earlier this week by the city council in favour of the awareness labels. The warning stickers will be found on top of fuel pumps, acting as an informative and suggestive notice to fuel users in order to help climate change.

The labels will be similar to those found on packets of cigarettes and tobacco in the UK, encouraging people to think about their own effect on the environment.

No specific date has been set for the stickers to be brought in as of yet.

North Vancouver Mayor, Darrell Mussatto said: “The city hopes to implement the stickers by early next year and will make it mandatory for pumps to have them as part of a business licence.
