  5. faith capitalism environmentalism

  6. environmental stewardship at Providence • 50by30 • green opportunities in Steinbach • action & advocacy

  7. PROVIDENCE? • Christian • small • rural

  8. green to date • we’ve started to walk the walk • carpools • recycle • retrofit windows & insulation • community garden • replace boilers • geothermal • wind research

  9. green to date • replace boilers • natural gas • low-efficiency  high-efficiency • $130k spent to date

  10. green to date • geothermal • Reimer SLC • opened in 2009 • $5 million • $500,000 for geothermal • fundraised from non-government sources • ~25,000 sq ft • 10% of total campus building footprint

  11. green to date • wind research • wind study • environmental study

  12. carpools recycle retrofit community garden replace boilers geothermal wind research green to date

  13. carpools recycle retrofit community garden replace boilers geothermal wind research biomass heating green now GOAL: replace ~2/3s of our natural gas use

  14. biomass • residues • forestry • agriculture • industry • sewage • “organic” “garbage”

  15. “densification” • biomass • residues • forestry • agriculture

  16. “heats more than 1 building” biomass • distributed biomass heating natural gas natural gas

  17. green now • Providence’s renewable energy formula: • electricity + geothermal + biomass • = #2 campus in Canada • #1: University of Northern British Columbia

  18. green now future • carpools • recycle • retrofit • community garden • replace boilers • geothermal • wind • biomass • rural transit • composting • research • power

  19. green future • carpools • recycle • retrofit • community garden • replace boilers • geothermal • wind power • biomass • rural transit • composting •  replication in other institutions •  industry infrastructure •  cattails

  20. green future • carpools • recycle • retrofit • community garden • replace boilers • geothermal • wind power • biomass • rural transit • composting

  21. green future St Boniface Hospital St Boniface College St Vital Centre • carpools • recycle • retrofit • community garden • replace boilers • geothermal • wind power • biomass • rural transit • composting Deacon’s Corner UofM Grande Pointe St Germain Lorette Ille des Chenes Saint Adolphe Landmark Ste Anne Glenlea Niverville Tourond SteAgathe Steinbach New Bothwell Providence/ Otterburne St-Pierre-Jolys Saint Malo

  22. greenPROVIDENCE • on our horizon • curriculum development • policy advocacy • solar power • local food • orchard revival • roof-top garden • campus design • communal bikes • re-use-it • zero-fossil dorms • carpools • recycle • retrofit • community garden • replace boilers • geothermal • wind power • biomass • rural transit • composting Warren Wilson College Eco-Dorm Swannanoa, North Carolina

  23. Why? • for Providence • “The earth is the Lord’s” • Psalm 24 • we’re accountable • and so we’re making a start

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

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

  26. Why 50 by ‘30? • a vision for Manitoba • by 2030 we can lead in • hydro • geothermal • biomass • solar • wind • efficiency programs • demand-reduction programs enewables R fficiency E D emand

  27. 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

  28. Why 50 by ‘30? • spend more of our money here  • reduce our greenhouse gases • grow our green industries

  29. How 50 by ‘30? • Can we do this? • examples • Vermont http://www.vtenergyplan.vermont.gov/ • North Dakota http://www.communityservices.nd.gov/energy/empower-north-dakota-commission-information/ • 25x25 http://www.25x25.org/ • Germany http://www.bmu.de/english/current_press_releases/pm/48295.php

  30. How 50 by ‘30? • Where will we get the money? • WE’RE ALREADY SPENDING THE MONEY • $1b natural gas • $4b gasoline & diesel • IN MANITOBA, • RENEWABLE • ENERGY • IS LOCAL ENERGY electric heat electricity industrial natural gas gasoline & diesel

  31. To date wind biomass solar geothermal • energy sources 262 PJ 229 PJ hydro natural gas oil oil coal 1990 2009

  32. If current trends continue wind biomass solar geothermal • energy sources ~316 PJ 262 PJ hydro 229 PJ natural gas oil coal 1990 2009 2030

  33. hydro A Green Plan wind biomass solar geothermal coal, propane & derivatives • energy sources natural gas refined oil products (gas & diesel) ~316 PJ 262 PJ 229 PJ hydro natural gas oil coal 1990 2009 2030 wind biomass solar geothermal

  34. How 50 by ‘30? • A Green Plan • every plan needs 3 areas of areas of focus • Heating & Cooling • Transportation • Electricity

  35. How 50 by ‘30? • A Green Plan • every plan needs 3 areas of types of action • increase Renewables • increase Efficiency • reduce Demand

  36. A Green Plan D R E increase increase reduce renewables efficiency demand Heating & Cooling Transportation Electricity

  37. environmental stewardship at Providence • 50by30 • green opportunities in Steinbach • action & advocacy

  38. Action & Advocacy • How? • respond to TomorrowNow • share info with francophone municipalities • lever with provincial & MB Hydro incentives • propose a Green Plan • specifics • Where? • home • school • church • employer • municipality

  39. A Green Plan D R E increase increase reduce renewables efficiency demand Heating & Cooling Transportation Electricity

  40. D R E A Green Plan for Steinbach(a very rough 1st draft) • on-meter financing • BUILD • geothermal • biomass increase increase reduce renewables efficiency demand • recharge stations • car-share • biking infrastructure • rural transit Transportation Heating & Cooling • wind farm study • LED streetlights Electricity • municipal composting • municipal methane capture

  44. To date wind biomass solar geothermal • energy sources 262 PJ 229 PJ hydro natural gas oil oil coal 1990 2009

  45. To date • energy sources

  46. To date • greenhouse gas emissions 11.3 MtCO2e 10.6 MtCO2e 1990 2009 MtCO2e: Megatonnes of CO2 equivalent

  47. If current trends continue • greenhouse gas emissions ~13 MtCO2e 11.3 MtCO2e 10.6 MtCO2e 1990 2009 2030 MtCO2e: Megatonnes of CO2 equivalent

  48. If current trends continue • energy sources ~316 PJ 262 PJ 229 PJ renewables fossil fuels 1990 2009 2030
