for Providence The earth is the Lords Psalm 24 were accountable and so were making a start Why?

Everyone will have their own reasons for sustainability. individuals institutions societies differing motivations are good can still join in shared actions Why? 50by30.org

To increase Manitobas renewable energy use to 50% (from the present 30%) by 2030 without increasing global GHGs. goal: 50by30.org

Why 50 by 30? a vision for Manitoba by 2030 we can be a net exporter of energy almost all of it green be a leading exporter of equipment consultation, design & management expertise develop a new, rurally-focused industry solidify a brand for Manitoba
