Today is the first ever World Peatlands Day! Peatlands, like Burns Bog, are vital in the fight against climate change because they are carbon sinks. Despite covering only 3% of the Earth’s surface, peatlands hold twice as much carbon as ALL of the forests on the planet! #DeltaBC https://t.co/jpt5kUyHMi

- Good question 🤔#bcpoli https://t.co/seOPkxhI7U Quoted tweet from @rmttn: When announcing the benefit, @jjhorgan said that we have to assume all renters will apply for the benefit.
