The Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ) is drastically scaling back its supply of cold drinks.
The Crown corporation says it plans to remove the majority of refrigerators from stores across the province to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Over the next 15 years, the 2,700 fridges in its fleet will drop to 918.
As a result, the SAQ says its environmental footprint will plunge from 12.6 tons of carbon dioxide today to four tons in 2037—an 83-ton reduction over 15 years.
Équiterre, an environmental non-profit in Quebec, applauds the move.
“It’s always good to see that state-run organizations are showing an example and have an ambitious view on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and they are putting it into action,” said executive director Colleen Thorpe.
