"Sustainability is a process, not some utopian end event.  It's about creating financial and social wealth in a way that doesn't, frankly, trash people and the planet.

Renewable Fuels

Switching to renewable fuels is a simple, cost effective way to shift towards sustainability. These fuels are derived from plant material, emit less pollutants and greenhouse gases than petro-fuels, and can be used in a blended form in any diesel or gasoline engine with no modification. See our Biodiesel and Ethanol sections for more information.

In the last federal election both the Conservatives and the Liberals committed to implement a 5% renewable fuel standard in Canada by 2010. This means that by 2010, 5% of all diesel and gasoline sold in Canada will be from renewable sources such as biodiesel or ethanol. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 4 to 5 billion kg each year.
 

 

 

“For a hundred years we've powered our lives the easiest possible way—by tapping into those pools of hydrocarbons left by the eons. That energy is highly concentrated, easily portable. It was just waiting there, for us to come along and scoop up, and so we did.

Now we've begun to realize that petroleum can't be what we use to power our next century. Not only is the supply starting to dwindle, and hence get more expensive to extract (both in terms of money and blood), but it's also become clear just what a high environmental price we've paid for the convenience. If nothing else, the news that our planet is likely to warm five degrees this century should be enough to set us looking for new paths”
