It’s not very good.

There are opportunities to improve—and money to be made—particularly in energy sustainability.

sustainability so far

GOAL:replace ~2/3s ofour natural gas use

biomass• residues

‐ forestry‐ agriculture‐ industry‐ sewage‐ “organic” “garbage”

energy sustainability so far

Providence’s renewable energy formula:

electricity + geothermal + biomass= #2 campus in Canada

for Providence• “The earth is the Lord’s”

Psalm 24

‐ we’re accountable‐ and so we’re 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?
