Cold temperatures not only affect an elderly person’s ability to deal with winter, deaths due to heart attacks and strokes increase dramatically. An average of 7,200 Americans died each day from December to March, compared with 6,400 during the rest of the year, according to 2008 data from the U.S. National Centre for Health Statistics. The toll was similar in this country, according to Statistics Canada. An average of 656 Canadians died each day in January, 2006, compared with 546 in August of the same year.

In an effort to demonstrate effective greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation strategies on tribal lands in the U.S. the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation headquartered in Coulee Dam, near Spokane, Washington, recently partnered with carbon finance advisory firm EcoAnalytics LLC of San Francisco, the Finite Carbon Corporation of Wayne Pennsylvania, and the Van Ness Feldman law firm which specializes in, among other things, environmental projects throughout the U.S. and has a unique tribal practice. With a $1.226 million Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) award, and matching funds, the partnership hopes to show that previous barriers to entry in environmental markets encountered by the hundreds of Federally recognized tribes and bands in the U.S. can be surmounted.
